March is Women’s History Month, and women are in danger of becoming history itself. The most extreme voices are pushing for the erasure of women. And many of these bullies have great power to force us all to conform. I know this first hand.
As a student at the University of Cincinnati, my professor in my gender studies class gave me a failing grade for a project proposal that used the term “biological woman.” Who knew that in today’s institutions of higher learning, once dedicated to the discovery of truth, it would be unacceptable to state the truth?
Our education system not only suppresses the truth, it intentionally and actively attacks it. This is not a guess. In an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer, Professor Melanie Rose Nipper said he has used his position of authority to force his students to conform to his progressive views for years. admitted that. Abusing power is the textbook definition of a bully.

Professors should teach truth, not define it. Nipper called my words “exclusive” and contributing to “heteronormativity.” That may be true, and we can debate it on college campuses, but we cannot ban the truth that men and women are biologically different.
This attack on truth is louder and more powerful than individual professors using their classrooms as bully pulpits. Young people are hostage to the university degree system that governs the course of our lives, including our earning potential, opportunities, and types of work.
We are trapped by it and forced to participate and pay for these degrees. That’s why the progressive left has created a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) course as a graduation requirement. This is how a student like me, who majored in chemistry, ended up taking a gender studies class.
DEI is a way for bullies to create history for women and reduce our existence to nothing more than feelings. The concept of DEI is a shameless abuse of power and an outright indoctrination system. The fact that I applied a scientific concept and was punished for it is clear evidence.
Still, the DEI virus is infecting schools across the United States. The University of Michigan, Villanova University, Drake University, Brandeis University, University of Massachusetts, State University of New York (SUNY) System, and University of California System are just infections. short list.
And even government power is being used to further efforts to suppress the truth. Campus Reform recently reported that the federal government awarded nearly $1 million to three universities to “create a more inclusive environment for transgender, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming students.” According to the project, “Biology courses often inaccurately classify sex and gender as binary oppositions.”

This project, which I lost because I wrote “Biological Women,” examines the history of rights and opportunities that women have fought for since the late 1800s, and how those rights are currently being affected. did. Today, women are deprived of opportunities, exposed to humiliation, and exposed to physical danger.
There are increasing stories of women and girls being injured by men participating in the league. And it’s not just sports where women are endangered and degraded. A sorority at the University of Wyoming was forced to allow a biological male to live in its home despite allegations that he made the women uncomfortable by “voyeurizing” them.
Those who oppose this movement have been canceled, punished, and attacked. Even though Nipper had great power over my future, I refused to remain silent. After my story became public, I received a message on social media from a former student at the University of Cincinnati who let me know that the exact same thing happened to him in 2007. That’s why I joined Riley Gaines’ mission to encourage all Americans to speak up more.

As an ambassador for the Leadership Institute’s Riley Gaines Center, I have had the opportunity to speak to students across the country, sharing my experiences and encouraging them to speak out against injustices related to DEI on college campuses. I’ve been doing it.
If each of us does not speak up for our right to exist as women, we will be completely erased. Women are enjoying a new phase of feminism: the right to be accepted for who they are. The attack on our existence is powerful and real. My message this Women’s History Month is this: Don’t give up!
