YAF Members Are ‘Unsafe’ Roommates According to University of Tampa RA Training

As students across the country prepare to begin another academic year, administrators and official student employees are already up to their usual tricks preparing to indoctrinate the rising generation in leftist nonsense while demonizing conservatives and their ideas.

At the University of Tampa, students serving as RAs this year were treated to a wildly biased “training” this week that included an outlandish scenario asking “what would you do?” if a resident felt “unsafe” because their roommate was a conservative.

According to photographs obtained by YAF on Friday, a slide shown to RA trainees presented the following scenario:

“You just returned from class and one of your residents asks to speak with you. He 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 ‘Make America Great Again’ flag in the room and that he is a member of YAF.”

In just one slide presented to trainees, the biased Office of Resident Life and RA training team at the University of Tampa encapsulates much of what is wrong with leftism run amok in higher education.

Why is it that YAF students are deemed a threatening presence instead of pro-Hamas radicals who violently call for the murder of Jews and elimination of Israel?

“This is the unfortunate state of higher education in America right now,” noted University of Tampa YAF Chair Nicole Gillis. “Universities are indoctrinating students by painting conservatives as evil. 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.”

“The 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,” added Young America’s Foundation Chief Communications Officer Spencer Brown. “A school such as the University of Tampa — or any with wildly biased trainings like this — has no business calling itself an institution of ‘higher’ learning. Clearly, University of Tampa administrators and student employees need some mandatory tolerance training.”
