Gettysburg College forced its freshmen to participate in a bizarre and mandatory “diversity” activity pushing leftist gender ideology, according to a tip received through Young America’s Foundation’s Campus Bias Tip Line.
The event organizers assigned students to one of two fictitious cultures: “Pandya” or “Chispa.” Each culture came with a set of rules regarding gender interactions, where students had to adhere to roles such as “Pandya woman,” “Pandya gender-questioning person,” and “Chispa genderfluid individual.”
In the Pandya culture, men were forced into submission, unable to even speak directly to women from other cultures. Instead, they had to communicate through female chaperones—a bizarre reversal of roles that was clearly engineered to make traditional dynamics appear oppressive. Meanwhile, nonbinary and genderfluid identities were treated as the norm, further pushing radical and nonsensical concepts on impressionable freshmen.
One image taken by a member of the Gettysburg Young Americans for Freedom chapter shows the Pandya culture’s rules, where women held more power than men, and men had to seek permission to speak through chaperones.
The aim of this exercise was clear: to normalize “non-binary” and “gender-fluid” identities, while casting traditional masculinity in a negative light.
Gettysburg YAF members Jackson Harris and Nick Alverson criticized the training exercise. Alverson was assigned the role of a “Pandya nonbinary person” but refused to participate in the activity. He told YAF, “This activity was not about inclusion as they claim. It was an attempt to marginalize students who believe in traditional values and biological fact. I signed up to get an education, not to be indoctrinated.”
Once orientation leaders realized he wasn’t playing along, he was berated and reminded that the exercise was mandatory.
“To be put in a room full of delusional ideas on the nature of our skeletal and biological makeup really enlightened me to what I had signed up for coming to this college,” Alverson concluded.
Fortunately, the Gettysburg YAF chapter isn’t afraid to push back against this leftist nonsense. Last year, Gettysburg sponsored an initiative that encouraged those who were “tired of white cis men” to paint their frustrations. The blatantly racist project was called off after Young America’s Foundation put it in the national spotlight.
