University of N. Carolina votes down compelled speech


The University of North Carolina has voted to prohibit compelled speech, so if you don't want to call a person whose pronouns are ungrammatical, you don't have to call them "they," "them," or anything else it wants to be called. 

The resolution voted on by the school's Board of Governors voted on it Thursday and it states: "[T]he University shall neither solicit nor require an employee or applicant ... to affirmatively ascribe to or opine about beliefs, affiliations, ideals, or principles regarding matters of contemporary political debate or social action as a condition to admission, employment, or professional advancement,"

Earlier this month, the school announced that it has a plan to challenge woke ideology on campus with what is called a Civic Life and Leadership School. Its goal is to "level" the playing field on campus, Fox News reported.

If the plan works out, the school may actually be a model for others to follow in its footsteps and make the U.S. Constitution great again.

"When one side is represented and the other side is suddenly allowed to speak up, it may seem like we're taking aim - but really we're just trying to create a level playing field," Trustee Marty Kotis said.

Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz agrees. He said in an announcement:  "We are working to support a culture of respect, debate, and discovery. It won’t be easy and will often feel simply uncomfortable. Yet these are the skills our students, and we as citizens, need to be stewards of our democracy."

No Democrat was hurt in this decision, although you'd think they were.
