STUDENT BOOTED FROM INDIANA, PA UNIVERSITY'S RELIGIOUS STUDIES COURSE FOR CONTENDING THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS

STUDENT BOOTED FROM INDIANA, PA UNIVERSITY'S RELIGIOUS STUDIES COURSE FOR CONTENDING THERE ARE 
ONLY TWO GENDERS

INDIANA, Pa. — A student at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania says he was kicked out of his religious studies course for contending in class that there are only two genders and for providing his views when his professor had asked to hear from women only.
Lake Ingle says that on Feb. 28, his class was shown a TED Talk recording of former church planter and pastor Paul Williams, who now goes by the name Paula, as he discussed “mansplaining,” “male privilege,” and male sexism. The video was part of a study on “Christianity 481: Self, Sin, and Salvation,” and was entitled “I’ve lived as a man & a woman—here’s what I learned.”
Ingle states that at the end of the recording, his female professor asked for comment from women only. After no girls in the class sought to speak, he decided to provide his point of view, stating that biologists believe that there are only two biological genders. He also outlined why he disagrees that there is a wage gap between men and women.
“The floor was opened, and not a single woman spoke. Thirty seconds or so passed and still no woman had spoken. So, I decided it was permissible for me to enter the conversation, especially because I felt the conversation itself was completely inappropriate in its structure,” Ingle recalled to Campus Reform. “It was during my objection that Dr. [Alison] Downie attempted to silence me because I am not a woman.”
The following day, in meeting with his professor, he was provided with an Academic Integrity Referral Form and an agreement, outlining that Downie wanted Ingle to apologize to the entire class and then listen as his professor—and any students that wished to—outlined how his choice to speak out made her feel.
Ingle is officially accused of “[d]isrespectful objection to the professor’s class discussion structure; refusal to stop talking out of turn; angry outbursts in response to being required to listen to a trans speaker discuss the reality of white male privilege and sexism; disrespectful references to the validity of trans identity and experience; [and making a] disrespectful claim that a low score on any class work would be evidence of professor’s personal prejudice.”
Days later, he received a letter from Provost Timothy Moerland advising him that Downie wanted him removed from the class.
“Due to the serious nature of this issue, you are barred from attending this class in accordance with the Classroom Disruption policy,” Moerland wrote. “You will not be allowed to return to class until the pending academic integrity charges against you are fully adjudicated.”
Ingle believes that the university is infringing upon his right to free speech and to present ideas that differ with what is being indoctrinated by his professor.
“My professor pretty much just tried to shut me up because she was just letting women speak,” he told Fox News. “I brought up the fact that biologists don’t agree that there’s more than two genders and I said the wage gap she’s referring to—77 cents on the dollar—that even the New York Times debunked that.”
Ingle, who now has obtained legal representation, also told Campus Reform that “the wording in the [accusatory] documents is not only exaggerated, but more than one line is entirely untruthful and is done so purposefully to discredit my views and paint me as intolerant and ignorant.”
He said that he is not seeking to prove his views correct in fighting the charges, but is rather wanting to defend the right to disagree. Ingle, a senior, also needs to be able to complete the course in order to graduate.
A ruling from the university is scheduled for March 19.

Meet Alison Downie, the Leftist Professor Destroying a Kid Because He Said There Are Only Two Genders

March 12, 2018
Another day, another travesty going on at one of our nation’s institutions of higher learning. This one is particularly galling, however. Lake Ingle, a student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, has been barred from class and could be prevented from graduating all because he told nutty leftist professor Alison Downie that, according to biologists, there are only two genders. Oh, and he disputed the wage gap myth with, get this, facts and figures!
No wonder he pissed this loon off. From Campus Reform
A student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania has been barred from attending a religious studies class required for graduation after pointing out that there are only two genders…
According to Lake Ingle [the student in question], the class was forced to watch a Ted-Talk on February 28 featuring Paula Stone, a transgender woman, who gave examples of “mansplaining,” “male privilege,” and systematic sexism. Following the video, Ingle wrote that the instructor “opened the floor to WOMEN ONLY. Barring men from speaking until the women in the class have had their chance to speak.”…
“The floor was opened, and not a single woman spoke. Thirty seconds or so passed and still no woman had spoken. So, I decided it was permissible for me to enter the conversation, especially because I felt the conversation itself was completely inappropriate in its structure,” Ingle told Campus Reform. “I objected to the use of the anecdotal accounts of one woman’s experience to begin a discussion in which they were considered reality. It was during my objection that Dr. Downie attempted to silence me because I am not a woman.” 
Here’s that Ted Talk, by the way:

As a result of Mr. Lake having the nerve to counter leftist lies, he was handed this. An associate of my site also had these documents sent to them, but they’re all in the Campus Reform post.
As you can see, the “professor,” Alison Downie, is trying to force him into an apology because he turned the class into an “unsafe space” with his brazen disregard for SJW bullshit. Then, he’s supposed to sit there and be berated by Ms. Downie and her brain dead followers like some kind of Maoist struggle session. This is the sort of Marxist indoctrination that’s happening in colleges across the country.
Speaking of the professor, she is quite the character. My team found some of her writings, and they are just as batshit as you might imagine. Here’s the abstract from a paper she wrote titled “A Spirituality of Openness: Christian Ecofeminist Perspectives and Interreligious Dialogue (full paper in link)”
Feminists have critiqued assumptions and structures of inter-religious dialogue even as they have acknowledged the need for more feminist presence in this area. Because ecofeminist values span religious differences, exploring a spirituality evident across Christian ecofeminist authors makes a contribution to inter-religious feminist work. A spirituality of openness manifests in four prominent themes which recur across diverse Christian ecofeminist thinkers. Each of these themes arises from a foundational orientation to openness. Relational theories of self are grounded in the openness of fluid identity construction; a stress on personal narrative as a relational way of knowing depends upon the openness of experiencing subjects to each other; an ethic of risk and discernment emphasizes openness in the courage and responsibility required to act within ambiguity; and the openness of receptivity is a prerequisite for engaging the potentially transformative power of beauty. 
Ecofeminism is a term that links feminism with ecology. Its advocates say that paternalistic/capitalistic society has led to a harmful split between nature and culture. Early ecofeminists propagated that the split can only be healed by the feminine instinct for nurture and holistic knowledge of nature’s processes. Modern ecofeminism, or feminist eco-criticism, eschews such essentialism and instead focuses more on intersectional questions, such as how the nature-culture split enables the oppression of female and nonhuman bodies. It is also an activist and academic movement that sees critical connections between the exploitation of nature and the domination over women both caused by men. 
Oh, so calling yourself an ecofeminist means you’re a complete nutbag. I’m glad I learned about this particular strain of psychotic thought. You can read more here. You can also read some of the non-scholarly (lol, it’s a joke to call the trash above scholarly, but play along with me) work Alison Downie has done.
As you can see, she’s an unhinged, man-hating shrew. This post almost defies belief.
On this particular Sunday, I happened to drive past a non-denominational church in the small college town where I live. It rents space on the main street, in an old movie theater. On this day, a group of enthusiastic church goers gathered on the sidewalk, advertising the service about to begin with handmade posters. They appeared to be mostly young, and I imagined they were probably students at the university where I teach. I glanced their way, wondering if I would recognize a student from one of my classes.
A young man I did not recognize leaned toward the curb as I passed, aiming his poster at me. It read, “SMILE! It’s Sunday!”
I felt slapped in the face, stunned, and then . . . enraged.
ENRAGED by a proselytizer who wanted to brighten someone’s day with a happy sign. What a monster that kid is!
Though I drove on in steely silence, I wanted to slam on the brakes, storm into that cluster of shiny happy young people and throw down a Molotov cocktail of sudden death, mental illness, tragedy, and suffering of all kinds into their church street party: “NO! I will NOT smile because it’s Sunday. And who are you to tell me I should? Who are you to imply that if I do not smile, I somehow don’t measure up to your understanding of what faith or salvation is?”
Rage boiled within me for miles and miles, churning over the shame these young people tossed around in an insular, and therefore, arrogant obliviousness. 
Alison Downie, nutbag.
This woman is entrusted to enrich young minds. Our country might be beyond redemption at this point. OK, I don’t really believe that, but with folks like this teaching kids, we have a lot of housecleaning to do.
More, from her batshit rant…
In a classroom, in my professional life, I’m perhaps hyper-vigilant in preventing potentially shaming exchanges. Student feedback tells me my Religious Studies classes are safe spaces. Yet I keep myself safe by operating only out of my intellect, employing analysis and critique in the third person.
In the classroom or while writing an article, I know how to keep myself safe. I patrol very clear boundaries. And over several decades, I have developed effective strategies for replenishing myself when shame overtakes me in situations beyond my power to orchestrate.
In that Sunday smile poster, all the smug, self-righteous, condemning religiosity which formed me in shame as I learned to talk, walk, and never break a rule, assaulted me once again, as Alison, not Dr. Downie. I wish I could imagine talking to that group without my professor-shield. Volunteering to walk right into shame, to walk right into a crowd pronouncing that I am religiously inadequate, has, so far, exceeded my abilities.
I hope that one day, perhaps even in the coming New Year, I will have the courage and strength to walk squarely into a poisonous cloud of shame, to risk being vulnerable, perhaps to teach more by how I live as Alison than how I structure classes as Dr. Downie.
I don’t know Alison, or Dr. Downie, but they both sound like complete headcases to me. How many psychotropic drugs do you imagine this woman is on? However many it is, perhaps the dosage needs to be altered. They clearly are not working.
More on this story as events develop.
UPDATE: Mr. Ingle has provided TheRalphRetort.com with a comment about the hearing that took place today…
Today, at the hearing, the professor filed for me to be removed from class, permanently, due to the Classroom Disruption Policy. She’s claiming my presence in the class is making the classroom unsafe because of the manner in which I share in class. Her decision to do this is a direct reaction to my comments in class on February 28th. 
A final decision on Ingle’s status is expected to be made on March 19th.

London’s Muslim mayor continues war on free speech, warns Facebook and Twitter about “hate speech”

Under Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan, London has seen a sharp rise in knife crime, gun crime, burglary, rape and homicide.
Khan’s performance includes anti-Semitism, alliances with stealth jihadists, and investments of large sums of taxpayer dollars in police witch-hunts against “offensive communication,” all amid London’s violent crime surge under his disastrous leadership.
Now Khan is upping the ante: he has warned major technology companies such as Facebook and Twitter to do more on the issue of “hate speech,” or face fines and greater regulation — as if Facebook and Twitter are not already unfairly targeting truth tellers.
Khan and his deceptive ilk have one purpose in common: to shut down the freedom of speech and make room for sharia blasphemy rules in the West.
Sadiq Khan also shared a platform with five Islamic supremacists, according to the London Evening Standard. The Washington Times wrote in August that “Sharia comes to London” under Khan, as he banned “sexy ads” from the Tube. Khan has also shown animosity toward Trump because of his diligence with regard to immigration policy.
As the global jihad continues, Khan should never have been elected mayor of London; nor should anyone with pro-sharia and Islamic supremacist sympathies.
“Sadiq Khan Warns Silicon Valley on ‘Hate Speech’ and Fake News, Blames Donald Trump”, by Ben Kew, Breitbart, March 12, 2018:
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has warned major technology companies such as Facebook and Twitter to do more on the issue of “hate speech,” or face fines and greater regulation.
Talking to the BBC ahead of the South by Southwest (SXSW) technology festival in Austin, Texas, Khan said that companies must be “chivvied and cajoled to take action.”
“We have evolving economies, which means we should have evolving regulations,” he said. “For too long politicians and policymakers have allowed this revolution to take place around us and we’ve had our heads in the sand.”
He went on to reference German hate speech laws, put in place by Angela Merkel in response to growing resentment at her open-door migration policy, with companies now facing fines up to 50 million euros.
“Germany is an example of where the German government said ‘Enough,” he continued. “Unless you take down hate messages, unless you take down fake news, we will fine you’….

U.K.'S NIGEL FARAGE CALLS OUT EUROPEAN UNION FOR ITS HYPOCRISY ON TARIFFS

U.K.'S NIGEL FARAGE CALLS OUT EUROPEAN UNION FOR ITS HYPOCRISY ON TARIFFS 
BY STEVE BYAS
SEE: https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/europe/item/28478-uk-s-nigel-farage-calls-out-european-union-for-its-hypocrisy-on-tariffsrepublished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
“I think right now if Donald Trump invented a cure for the common cold, they would still find a reason to criticize him,” British politician Nigel Farage told Fox & Friends Sunday, commenting on what he considered the hypocritical opposition of the European Union to President Donald Trump’s decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
Farage, the former head of Britain’s Independence Party, was a leading proponent of the ultimately successful Brexit — Britain’s decision to exit the European Union. In the Fox & Friends interview, Farage accused the EU of having already imposed its own tariffs on steel and other products coming from the United States. “Thank goodness, a world leader is calling out the European Union. When Trump announced 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum as tariffs, the European Union were the loudest critics in the world, saying how dreadful it was — without telling anybody they already put tariffs on aluminum and steel and on virtually every American product that comes into Europe,” Farage said.
“So, they’re guilty, the European Union, of gross hypocrisy,” Farage added.
Farage is right. Despite the rhetoric of “free trade,” the facts are that other nations loudly voice their opposition to protective tariffs while quietly practicing their own forms of protectionism. In a recent column, Pat Buchanan offered the EU as a prime example of this hypocrisy, noting that EU nations impose a value-added tax (VAT) on imports from America, “While rebating the VAT on exports to the USA.” Buchanan said that this use of the VAT “works just like a tariff.”
Today, the EU imposes a 10-percent tariff on U.S. cars, while the United States imposes a much lower 2.5 percent tariff on EU cars.
Farage’s criticisms of the EU went far beyond their hypocritical trade policies with the United States, however. “The European Union is a club run by unelected bureaucrats, bullies — and they’re used to getting their own way. And this story at the moment is being portrayed as Trump is a bad guy, the European Union is the good guys. Trump is the protectionist. The European Union are the free traders.”
In short, Farage insisted, “It is deep hypocrisy for the EU to be doing this. They have already put tariffs on aluminum and steel.… It’s OK for the European Union to do it, but it’s not OK for Trump to do it.”
Farage argued that while the criticism of Trump is particularly intense, it is not novel, noting, “I’m old enough to remember Ronald Reagan and all those same newspapers, all the same media outlets saying Reagan was an idiot; he wasn’t fit to be U.S. president.” Like they do with Trump today, Farage contends that these same critics never gave Reagan credit for anything.
Addressing the concern that Trump’s action on tariffs will lead to a “trade war,” which Farage insists is more of a reaction, Farage called it “absolutely ridiculous," adding, "If the European Union want to retaliate by putting further tariffs on Tennessee bourbon, or Levi’s jeans or Harley Davidsons, they will find a tit-for-tat with German motorcars. So, I would say to the EU: All that Trump has done are the same things that you yourself have done. Leave it where it is. And if you want to push it, this man will not back down.”
Simply put, Farage has put his finger on a long-time problem in the area of international trade, as it involves the United States. American manufacturers have to compete with subsidized foreign manufacturers. America has shouldered much of Europe’s defense, enabling nations such as Germany to invest more of their own capital in manufacturing. American military might kept the Soviets out of Germany for decades. Yet, when Trump argued that the other NATO countries needed to begin doing their share, they act as if it is Trump who is in the wrong.
Farage added that Trump is only doing “what he told the American people he would do during the election campaign,” saying Trump is “a guy of substance.” What particularly galls the elitists who run the EU is Trump’s promise to put America first. Apparently, they believe he should put the EU first.
But while the elitists in Europe despise Trump, Farage contends that many people across Europe are not only “getting used to Donald Trump,” they “are absolutely crying out for … firm leadership” in their own countries.
