Fighting University Pronoun Insanity. . .

Feb 13, 2025

Universities used to be a place where free speech and science were protected. But that was before leftists and LGBTQ mafia took over much of the higher education system. 

These days, when universities aren’t focused on inventing irrational new genders, they are busy censoring anyone who refuses to abide by their “woke” agenda. Such is the case with our latest client.

Plymouth State University (PSU) decided to censor our client, a student, who refuses to participate in the LGBTQ’s “preferred pronouns” ridiculousness.

John* is a talented writer, who penned an excellent article for the PSU newspaper. There was nothing controversial in the article except for the fact that John refused to list “preferred pronouns” in his article’s byline. 

John is a Christian, and he believes what the Bible says that God created just two sexes, man and woman, just as much as he believes basic biology, which also states there are only two sexes. John’s name, his appearance, and his entire biological reality reflect the fact that God made John male. 

It’s ridiculous to list your pronouns as “he/him”! Isn’t it self-evident? For some confused minds, there are 70 “genders” besides male and female. This bankrupt ideology is dying on the vine.

John refuses to participate in the LGBTQ’s gender confusion game, so the university has chosen to censor him. 

It is shocking to me that any institution of higher learning, which presumably teaches biology, continues to promote the unscientific idea that there are multiple genders. The undeniable fact that there are only two genders is a basic tenet of biological science. Male and female. Get over it! 

But it is equally shocking that any university would choose censorship and retaliation against students who follow the very biological facts the university (presumably) teaches. 

John is an excellent student with a bright future ahead of him. But PSU’s decision to remove and censor John’s article puts a smear on his record, just as much as it violates John’s First Amendment rights. 

Compelling a person to speak the government’s message in this way is a violation of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. As a member of the publicly owned University System of New Hampshire, PSU IS the government in this case. And PSU’s censorship is not only wrong, it is also unlawful.

STOP the Censorship of Christians!

Sadly, PSU’s actions are not uncommon. Liberty Counsel is receiving more and more of these types of cases every day. The rabid LGBTQ crowd apparently will not be satisfied until they have silenced every Christian and eradicated Christianity from the worldview. 

Liberty Counsel WILL NOT let them succeed! 

Liberty Counsel is defending John in this matter, and we will fight to have his First Amendment rights restored. But we cannot do this work without your support. John is a college student who, like the rest of our clients, does not have the means to hire an army of high-priced lawyers to defend his and your rights. Instead, John and the rest of our clients rely on YOUR GENEROSITY to ensure justice is upheld and religious freedom remains free. 

Liberty Counsel is in an elite class when it comes to use of donor funds. Our non-donor income covers all administrative and fundraising expenses. Most of the non-donor income derives from attorney’s fees and costs that are recoverable from a government defendant. For the donor, this means 100% of every dollar goes directly to Liberty Counsel programs. And Liberty Counsel operates on a debt-free basis. 

A special Challenge Grant has been extended to help fund our legal work. Every donation made today, and even every recurring monthly donation, will be DOUBLED in impact throughout the term of the grant. Please, use this special opportunity to DOUBLE the IMPACT of your gift today!
