Gender Studies Program at U. Minnesota Hands Out Whistles to Alert People of ICE Activity

The activities of ICE have absolutely nothing to do with gender studies. What this story reveals is that the gender studies program is really about far-left politics.

Campus Reform reports:

University of Minnesota gender studies program offers whistles to ‘alert’ peers of suspected ICE activity

The University of Minnesota’s Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies recently advertised free whistles to “alert your community of suspected ICE activity.”

The department publicized the resource on its Instagram page on Dec. 15, saying there was an “increase in ICE activity near and outside of campus.”

The post states: “We are sending SO much love to our immigrant communities both in and outside of the University. We encourage you to use these resources to keep you and your community safe.”

ICE refers to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the primary federal agency for immigration law enforcement.

The gender studies department says it is providing the whistles for students to “alert your community,” but does not offer further instructions. Campus Reform did not find any mention of the whistles on the department’s website.

The Instagram post further adds that the whistles come “with a zine of how and when to use” them. “It also has cards with what to say if stopped by ICE in English, Spanish, and Arabic.”

According to its website, the “Department of Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota promotes feminist scholarship, teaching, and programming that centers on the relationship between knowledge, power, and social justice.”

The description further makes “a commitment to restructure institutional relationships between the University and vulnerable communities in order to address and undo structural inequalities.”
