U Of Tampa RA Training Includes Scenario Of Student Feeling “Threatened” By Conservative Roommate With MAGA Flag<\/span><\/p>\n

The University of Tampa\u2019s resident advisor (RA) training featured a hypothetical scenario in which a student complained about feeling \u201cunsafe\u201d because a roommate hung a \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d flag and was a member of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF).<\/p>\n

Affiliated with the Young America\u2019s Foundation, YAF chapters organize conservative speakers and trainings for students on campuses around the country. A picture of the University of Tampa slide was obtained<\/a> and shared by the group on Friday, Aug. 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just returned from class and one of your residents asks to speak with you,\u201d the training slide<\/a> reads. \u201cHe states that he feels unsafe in his room and needs an immediate room change. He goes on to state that he feels unsafe and threatened because his roommate put up a \u2018Make America Great Again\u2019 flag in the room and that he is a member of YAF.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On the YAF website, University of Tampa YAF Chair Nicole Gillis criticized the slide as the most recent example of colleges and universities attempting to indoctrinate their students.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the unfortunate state of higher education in America right now,\u201d she said. \u201cUniversities are indoctrinating students by painting conservatives as evil.<\/strong> This seemingly small example in an RA training at UT implies they think that conservatives are dangerous and that students should be afraid of people with conservative ideas.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Young America\u2019s Foundation Chief Office Spencer Brown pointed out what he sees as the contrast between how school administrators treat conservative students versus how they treat liberal ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe demonizing of conservative students and infantilizing coddling of fragile leftists who outrageously claim to feel physically threatened by intellectual diversity does a disservice to students and ought to be roundly mocked,\u201d he said. \u201cA school such as the University of Tampa \u2014 or any with wildly biased trainings like this \u2014 has no business calling itself an institution of \u2018higher\u2019 learning. Clearly, University of Tampa administrators and student employees need some mandatory tolerance training.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conservative students regularly feel isolated and discriminated against by their universities. Three self-identified conservative students from two different schools spoke in a Fox News<\/em> interview last month about they feel silenced in and out of the classroom, with one saying she has been \u201cyelled at<\/a>\u201d by professors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
