Pennsylvania college cancels event for students ‘tired of cis white men’ after complaints of bias
After receiving severe criticisms, Pennsylvania’s Gettysburg College cancelled an event planned for students called “tired of cis white men.”
The college told the Daily Caller News Foundation that the volume of complaints received prompted them to cancel the event.
Gettysburg College’s senior project would allow students to express themselves both in writing and by art about their tiredness “of white cis men” on November 12th. However, they ultimately cancelled the event after students filed “bias incident reports” against it.
“The flyer was made for a student project and was never endorsed by the college or by peace and justice studies,” Jaime Yates, chief communications and marketing officer for Gettysburg College, told the DCNF.
Yates added, “The faculty leaders of peace and justice studies have asked the student to reflect on their objectives and restructure their project accordingly. The event is no longer taking place as scheduled or initially constructed and the flyers have been removed.”
Many of the complaint were filed by student members of Young America’s Foundation (YAF), which is a conservative college group, according to The New Guard, who also reported that the event was being heavily promoted.
Gettysburg College states on their website that students can report “bias incidents” if a student or faculty member’s behavior is deemed to be “derogatory” or if it “targets an individual based on their actual or perceived race.”
“Most problematically, the college is permitting the paintings that come out of this event to be hung publicly in one of the main dining halls and communal spaces on campus,” Andrew Breschard, former chairman of the Gettysburg YAF chapter, told the DCNF.
“The college’s promotion of materials that openly vilify anyone who is white and male and allowing them to be posted in such a public space, will undeniably create uncomfortable or even unsafe conditions for many students,” Breschard said.

This “event” is an example of the attacks on people of White/European ancestry and men in general to destroy society. The people who promoted this racist event need to be rebuked and/or fired. And people need to learn real history – good and bad. Events like this are designed to divide people and get them to not see what is being done behind the curtain that in the ends harms everyone.
