A New York City college has responded to transgender students who vandalized bathrooms by rewarding them with campus-wide “degendered” facilities.

Get “What Women Really Want,” a call to women across this great land to wake up and take a stand against the cultural forces that are fighting tooth-and-nail to destroy their spirit and their families – at the WND Superstore!

Bill Mea, acting president of Cooper Union, sent an email March 18 informing the campus community of the new restrooms, which will only be identified as “Restroom with Urinals and Stalls,” “Restroom with Only Stalls,” and “Restroom Single Occupancy.”

“We have always been ahead of our time and we must continue being leaders on issues of social justice,” Mea said. “We, who are in positions of power, have the obligation to not only stand with those without power, but to stand in front of them, clearing a path for them to walk. I cannot change the outside world and how it treats transgender and gender non-conforming people, but I can change the Cooper Union environment to help everyone feel safe when they are inside our buildings.”

The school president then appeared to make a veiled threat of disciplinary action for individuals who publicly protest his decision.

“I also ask that none of us practice gender policing, where we attempt to restrict someone from using the same restroom we are using or make them feel uncomfortable for doing so,” Mea said. “If you feel uncomfortable sharing a restroom, then the single-occupancy restrooms will now be available to you.”

The website Insider Higher Ed reported Thursday that Cooper Union may be the first college to completely eliminate gender distinctions in bathrooms. The process began two years ago when students removed bathroom signs and replaced them with banners reading “Bathroom” or “Degendered.”

Mea, who left the signs down in order to observe how students reacted, told the website that resistance was relegated to a “handful of alumni.”

“I think you’ll begin seeing this more and more,” Mea said. “We here in New York City, we have the support of our mayor and the support of our city. That allows us that opportunity to be more expansive, but obviously there may be less of an opportunity where other colleges are located.”

Doulos Christou, a reader at the education watchdog The College Fix, said Mea’s decision has much more to do with control than supporting “those without power.”

“Here’s what the [LGBT] agenda is really about,” said Christou on Friday. “Demanding tolerance gave way to demanding recognition, which gave way to demanding equality, which is now giving way to demanding superiority.'”

Cooper Union’s annual tuition rate was $42,650 for the 2015-2016 academic year, according to US News and World Report. Enrollment topped off at 876 students.

They'll change their tune as soon as they've lost several million dollars in legal settlements from suits brought by women who were assaulted in these bathrooms.

Can someone please pinpoint the spot in time when government was tasked with doing what was best for the minority,instead of what was best for the majority?

And someone PLEASE explain to me HOW it harms a female to use a restroom designated for female use,or for a male to use a restroom designated for male use.

Social conservatism isn't "my thing" but this transgenderism crap is completely beyond the pale, as is fining people $150,000 for refusing to bake a Goddamned cake. The whole country is off it's rocker. I would imagine a lot of "middle of the road" people feel the same way.

And that is where the Trump supporters are coming from. People who don't think their viewpoints have been respected or represented in decades. Trump,at a minimum gives them a place to express their anger.

Social justice = men urinating in women's rest rooms. Welcome to Newspeak.

What this is, is implementation of a liberal theocracy based on nothing but forced morality no different than the mullahs of Iran.

Yet we are supposed to have separation of Church and State.

When the left discovered they could force their agenda on the majority with something called Obamacare.

Naw,it goes back at least to the point where the DNC discovered they could steal money from the SS Trust Fund and leave worthless IOU's in place of the Trust Fund money with no consequences and buy votes with the money.

Right then was the time for conservative congressmen to stood up on their hind legs and protested,but they were bought off by promises of new federal spending in their districts,so they laid back and pretended to enjoy it.

And people would still think that they were entitled to "their" money that was supposedly in that Socialist Security "Money for Nothing But Being Old" Trust Fund.

It's New York City, folks.

Might as well be another country.

Common sense?

Fuhgeddaboutit!

Why WOULDN'T people who paid into their retirement accounts for decades feel entitled to get the returns they were promised? If I pay it in,it damn sure IS my money.

Am I misunderstanding your point?

You're misunderstanding the entire thing.  You don't have a retirement account in social security.  You have a cute (but regressive) income tax called FICA along with an unfunded expectancy that you'll get a certain welfare payment at a certain age.

Ok,now I think I get the point you were making,but you are still wrong about it being welfare. It's insurance,and if you pay into it,it's your own investment you are getting back.
