LGBTQ students and allies at Los Positas College in Livermore are now demanding one of the school’s trustees to step down as they said he's made a series of homophobic and transphobic remarks online.
Since then, other political post have shown up on the professors account- including one questioning the “decay of masculinity.”
“Students need to feel safe attending the university, the college. How is a student supposed to thrive academically, if they don’t feel safe, if a board member, the people who are governing over the students and school is not validating the identity of the student,” said Johnson. "The first amendment enshrines free speech as a basic right, even when that speech is considered hurtful, hateful, and goes against the very values of our institution. The best way to counter ideas that many find dangerous is with actions that foster a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility, and belonging.”
