The head coach of Oberlin College’s lacrosse team says she was called “transphobic” and “unsafe,” and investigated by the woke college after questioning transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, a biological male, winning last year in the NCAA. “It is scientific that, biologically, males and females are different,” the lacrosse coach added. “I don’t believe biological males should be in women’s locker rooms.

Professor Will Moravits  was reportedly fired from St. Philip’s College in San Antonio, Texas, after making a student “uncomfortable” for allowing open debate on topics such as homosexuality and policing.
