    College student kicked out of class for telling professor there are only two genders


    A religious studies major was barred from Christianity class at Indiana University of Pennsylvania for saying during class that there are only two genders.

    Lake Ingle, a senior at the university, said he was silenced and punished by IUP Professor Alison Downie for questioning her during a Feb. 28 “Christianity 481: Self, Sin, and Salvation” lecture.

    After showing a 15-minute TED Talk by transgender ex-pastor Paula Stone Williams discussing the “reality” of “mansplaining,” “sexism from men,” and “male privilege,” the professor asked the women in the class to share their thoughts. When no women in the class said anything, Ingle spoke up, challenging the professor on biology and the gender wage gap.

    He told the class that the official view of biologists is that there are only two genders.

    The feminist professor booted him from class and asked him not to come back. She referred him to the public university’s Academic Integrity Board (AIB). Ingle needs to complete the class to graduate at the end of the semester.

    “You are barred from attending this class in accordance with the Classroom Disruption policy,” IUP Provost Timothy Moerland told Ingle in a March 2 letter.

    Ingle said what the professor did was unconstitutional.

    “My professor is violating my First Amendment rights because of the fact that my views and ideology is different from hers,” Ingle told Fox News. “So she took it on herself to silence and embarrass me – bully me – for speaking up in class.”

    Doesn't sound like it's a "Christianity" class worth being in anyway.

        Religious Studies does not seem to be a major worth pursuing to begin with. If you're going to study religion, why not attend a place that actually practices it?
        Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

          He has a case he waited to let the women speak when they didn't he did he was not disrupting the class. She did not like that he brought facts to her indoctrination attempt and refused to be indoctrinated.

              He should file a complaint against the teacher saying she assumed gender and he was only responding to her question.

                      Wow, that class room seemed all messed up.( Talk by transgender ex-pastor Paula Stone Williams, “sexism from men,” and “male privilege). I guess all they can do is try to shut you up if you have a different opinion. It's funny how they always say they are open minded but they are not. They are only open minded to all kind of evil.

                        I've seen this with Mormons. There is a massive persecution complex in what the Professor was doing. If you disagree with them, you are persecuting them. You are hateful, narrow minded bigots who are blinded by hate and privilege. Sometime it would be wonderful if they could...well...fortify their constitution...

                              Well, that's sad. You can't identify as a victim long term! That would be like if a boy was a victim of a mugging that killed his parents and he never got past it! To the point of dressing up as a bat and fighting crime! Except that's still better than whining about how no one understands and everyone else is at fault.... Wait...
