Long Island U. Demands Members of Student Club Attend LGBT Training for Saying Men Cannot be Women
“We are not going to let the university bully us into censoring ourselves.”
Reeducation programs are right out of 1984 but the left thinks nothing of it.
Campus Reform reports:
University punishes club for stating men are not women, officers must attend LGBTQ+ training session, submit DEI plan
Senior faculty at Long Island University (LIU) sent the university’s American Club chapter a letter earlier this summer demanding that it submit a DEI action plan and attend LGBT training as consequences for declaring that men are not women on social media.
The letter, addressed to American Club President and Campus Reform Correspondent Matthew Cairo, was signed by Senior Associate Director of Student Affairs Samiah Bhutta and Director of LIU Promise Brendan Caputo.
“All American Club executive officers and 50% of the American club membership roster are required to attend and participate in a LGBTQIA+ training session hosted by an LIU Promise employee before January 1, 2024,” it states.
The letter also demands that the LIU American Club “Submit a diversity, equity, and inclusion action plan by September 1, 2023, that aligns with both the University’s co-curricular learning outcomes and the mission of the American Club.”
The DEI plan must “Demonstrate tangible ways in which the American Club will ensure an inclusive and respectful environment on all its platforms, including social media.”
Cairo told Campus Reform that the club continue to stand for truth despite being forced to draft a DEI action plan against their will in order to remain a recognized club on campus.
“We are not going to let the university bully us into censoring ourselves. My goal when starting this club was to empower students to stand up for what they believe in, even if it’s not the popular opinion on college campus,” he said.
Cairo also stated that the club has to be “strategic” in its methods of fighting back due to the fact that private colleges today have been given too much power over students’ individual rights.

I wish L G and B were not piled up with the Ts. It’s just dumb.
It’s interesting that the Senior Associate Director of Student Affairs Samiah Bhutta who wrote the letter is a Muslim. How is that compatible with homosexual and transitional activism?
It isn’t, but you aren’t looking at it through the lens of Islam. First, Muslims can lie about their religion. Second, remember that the overarching goal of Islam is rule by Islam, and what better way to accomplish that than to undermine the culture of the place their hijra has left them.
Friends really don’t let friends have anything to do with L.I.U.

52% graduation rate? The last thing they should be worrying about is what the American Club calls trans people
They don’t care. No refunds on the tuition / student loans.
At least one member of SCOTUS thinks she needs to be a biologist to know what a woman is. How is she supposed to figure out all the other critters?
It is amazing how many legal rights New York State college students have. It is also amazing how poorly enforced those laws are on the ground.
