An Oberlin College lacrosse coach says she was harangued, reprimanded and pressured to recant by school officials for sharing an Instagram post expressing opposition to male-born athletes who identify as women competing in female sports.
Polls show most U.S. voters oppose allowing male-born athletes to compete in girls’ and women’s sports based on gender identity, and yet Ms. Russell said she was told by Oberlin administrators that her views were beyond the pale.
Ms. Russell said she recalled that the room was “dark,” and that the chairs were set up “in a huge circle.” At one point, a woman identified as a student says: “It’s not good enough just to work for, like, women’s issues or White feminism, you know. Your feminism has to be inclusive of everybody and work for everybody.”
That reference was to the notorious denunciation rallies in Maoist China in which accused “class enemies” were publicly humiliated and attacked, often by friends and family.
