College students at the University of Minnesota are faced daily with progressive gender policies that force behavior in conflict with personal conviction. These unconstitutional policies are not only a violation of free speech, but also come with the threat of university-imposed consequences if violated. But students of principle still remain and are pushing back against these insane campus rules.

One such policy is called the "Pronoun Policy." It states, “University members and units are expected to use the names, gender identities, and pronouns specified to them by other University members” and “University members and units are also expected to use other gendered personal references, if any, that are consistent with the gender identities and pronouns specified by University members.” 

This policy directly requires students and faculty members to refer to others in an ideologically loaded manner, even if it is against their personal convictions on sexuality. In contradiction with biological reality, the policy asks the students to adopt a certain set of values in practice, even if it is misaligned with not only their beliefs, but the factual truth. If they don’t adhere to the rules, students can be charged with violating the Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code and/or the Administrative Policy: Discrimination, which could result in unspecified discipline. This information is found on the University of Minnesota’s website "Policy Library." Various student testimonies from around the nation have also demonstrated harassment or disdain from professors and peers often accompanying their refusal to adhere to things like pronoun policies.

Unfortunately, this is not the only instance of publicly-funded........
