MSU Professor sued for making students pay $99 to join her leftist group.

MSU Professor Sued by Students for Allegedly Forcing Them to Join Radical Leftist Group

Students at Michigan State University (MSU) are suing former marketing professor Amy Wisner for allegedly compelling them to pay $99 each to join her radical leftist group, The Rebellion Community, as part of a required business communication course. Wisner used her authority to select “course materials” to charge 600 students, according to the lawsuit. The students claim that Wisner used the money to donate to Planned Parenthood and buy an RV for a trip around the U.S. The students are asking the court to make Wisner pay back the money she took from them or at least stop using the funds for political expression.

Objecting to Political Speech

The students object to some of The Rebellion Community’s political speech, citing a post on the group’s Instagram page that said, “I would like all the women in my life to stop for a minute, take a long, deep breath, and burn everything to the f***ing ground.” Wisner allegedly described the group’s content as “patriarchy-smashing content,” which she defines as “any expectation that couples should get married before having children,” according to the lawsuit. The students suing her said they believe that “God’s design for marriage, sexuality, and family … is good for both men and women and they oppose efforts to ‘smash’ this order.”

MSU’s Response

MSU removed Wisner from the class in March after students complained about The Rebellion Community. The school offered students a refund for the roughly $60,000 they paid to the leftist group. The refund money came from Broad College of Business funds, MSU spokesman Dan Olsen said. Olsen also said that Wisner was no longer employed at the university. The lawsuit also names Judith Whipple, the interim dean of the Broad College of Business and interim Provost Thomas Jeitschko as defendants.
