In the racial training, the students said they were shown slides warning against \u201cdenying\u201d the \u201cracial experience\u201d of anyone else by saying, \u201cWhen I look at you I don\u2019t see color.\u201d The students were also told that calling America a \u201cmelting pot\u201d could be considered offensive, with people assuming the person saying it is actually insisting \u201cyou should assimilate to the dominant culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Fox reported, \u201cThe RAs were also introduced to a \u2018gender unicorn\u2019 which outlined the many variations of \u2018gender identities\u2019 and \u2018gender expressions\u2019 that students might identify by while also being told that sex and gender have nothing to do with genitalia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After exposing the training sessions, the students were subjected to mocking from members of the Western Carolina Faculty Senate, who used their claims to raise money for a favored liberal political organization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCreating a fundraiser in response to the manufactured outrage and fear-mongering inherent in stories like this one that seek to make work towards diversity, equity, and inclusion scary,\u201d Laura Wright, president of the Faculty Senate, posted on a fundraising website, according to Fox. \u201cThanks for some great material, though.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fundraising website referred to the Fox report on the training as \u201cstupid\u201d and allowed people to purchase a shirt that mocked the two students after they called the school \u201cWoke Carolina University.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProud to be Woke U, home of the fighting Gender Unicorns,\u201d the shirt says.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple faculty members donated to the fundraiser \u2013 a social justice-aligned legal fund. Those faculty members include associate professor Amy Murphy-Nugen, associate professor Pamela Duncan, and assistant professor Amy Rose, Fox reported.<\/p>\n<p>The Faculty Senate\u2019s official Facebook Page also publicly mocked the students, claiming their concerns were \u201cmanufactured outrage\u201d and reiterating that they were \u201cproud\u201d to be \u201cwoke.<\/p>\n<p>That post and a similar post on Instagram were eventually deleted after Western Carolina RA Katie Sanders and Western Carolina TPUSA Campus Coordinator Chris Stirewalt appeared on Fox &amp; Friends First, the outlet noted.<\/p>\n<p>Though the school did not respond to Fox News\u2019 requests for comment, the school\u2019s chancellor sent out an email to WCU alumni insisting to potential donors that the \u201cgender unicorn\u201d training was taken \u201cout of context.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe highlighted training was meant to make our RAs aware of multiple points of view; understand that our students have different backgrounds; and provide techniques to assist them with communication,\u201d the email from WCU Chancellor Kelli R.
