Two Western Carolina University (WCU) students who work as Resident Assistants (RA) for the school say they have been mocked by faculty and received death threats after they spoke out against the school’s “woke” racial and gender training.
Fox News reported that the RAs said they have been mocked by faculty boasting that they are “proud” to be “woke.” The students said they have also received calls to be fired.
Last week, the students described what they experienced in the school’s racial sensitivity and gender trainings. In the racial training, the students said they were shown slides warning against “denying” the “racial experience” of anyone else by saying, “When I look at you I don’t see color.” The students were also told that calling America a “melting pot” could be considered offensive, with people assuming the person saying it is actually insisting “you should assimilate to the dominant culture.”
As Fox reported, “The RAs were also introduced to a ‘gender unicorn’ which outlined the many variations of ‘gender identities’ and ‘gender expressions’ that students might identify by while also being told that sex and gender have nothing to do with genitalia.”
