‘These policies are there to silence students who believe that sex cannot be changed’
The University of Minnesota forces students to adopt transgender ideology in the name of preventing “sexual harassment,” and students are suing, saying the policies violate their free speech rights under the First Amendment and prevent them from inviting speakers such as the detransitioner Chloe Cole.
“We live in fear of being disciplined and having our future ruined if we even accidentally use a pronoun someone doesn’t like,” Jackson Barrick, a University of Minnesota student entering his senior year, told the Daily Signal in a statement Tuesday. Young America’s Foundation, a conservative youth organization, represents Barrick and fellow students in the lawsuit, with lawyers from the Southeastern Legal Foundation.
“In the last two years, there have been nearly 20 complaints filed with the university that students violated these policies,” Barrick added. “These policies are there to silence students who believe that sex cannot be changed.”
