Students must take transgender ideology training or risk being barred from enrolling in classes.

In the campuses of the Universities of California it’s quite simple: undergo and comply with transgender ideology training or be barred from enrolling in classes.
According to The Christian Post, California universities are allegedly applying state sexual harassment prevention laws to obligate students to ratify transgender ideology, if not, this would possibly prevent them from taking classes.
It is mandatory that throughout the vast University of California system, all students are required to take sexual violence and sexual harassment prevention training under a program called SHAPE (Sexual Harassment, Anti-Discrimination, Prevention and Education).
The program is given through compulsory online training and testing modules focused on sexual harassment and anti-discrimination. And here is the catch: the obligatory training indicates that failing to use one’s self-declared trans pronouns or protesting the presence of men in women’s restrooms constitutes a hostile environment and qualifies as harassment.
The program obligates students to achieve a perfect score on the module’s questions, aligned with these views, to proceed with semester registration. In other words, students must comply and approve without a shadow of a doubt of transgender ideology in written tests or face the consequences.
According to The Post, a screenshot from the SHAPE training, first shared by Young America’s Foundation last month, defines a “Hostile Environment” as a circumstance where “someone demands that others use a particular bathroom that does not correspond to their gender identity or uses the incorrect pronoun.”
Another screenshot of a sample situation found on the SHAPE module states: “My name is Mona and I am transgender. My classmate Jane continues to call me James, which was my name before I transitioned. Jane refers to me as a man, and complains when I use the women’s restroom. I’ve asked her to stop [but] she does not. I feel very disrespected and want this to stop. What type of prohibited conduct can this be?”
Users of the program are given several options such as “sexual exploitation,” “relationship violence,” “quid pro quo,” and “hostile environment.” But only “hostile environment” is deemed a correct response.
“The reality and science-denying stooges at the University of California, San Diego, have shredded their institution’s ability to call itself a place of higher education by giving in to the radical Left’s gender ideology and endangering female students,” Young America’s Foundation Chief Communications Officer Spencer Brown said.
“It is not sexual harassment to require students to use the restroom, locker room, or other facility that corresponds with their biological sex, but it is egregious to require female students to use bathrooms with biological men and force all students to agree that such a policy is normal or safe,” Brown added.
