SUNY Geneseo Suspends Education Student for Expressing Views on Biological Gender
Mar 1, 2021
An education student attending the State University of New York (SUNY) Geneseo has been suspended from his program for expressing his views on biological gender on an Instagram account. In one video, the student says that “a man is a man,” and “a woman is a woman.”
Claiming that Stevens' conservative videos "call into question" his ability to "maintain a classroom environment protecting the mental and emotional well-being of all of [his] students,", State University of New York (SUNY) Geneseo sent him an email placing him on suspension from his teaching programs.
According to a copy of Steven's suspension, he will remain suspended from participating in in-school field experiences and courses that have field experiences until he completes a "remediation plan" which includes removing the conservative Instagram videos, toning down his social media presence, and attending school-sanctioned training.
“You continue to maintain, ‘I do not recognize the gender that they claim to be if they are not biologically that gender,’” the Dean added. “This public position is in conflict with the Dignity for All Students Act requiring teachers to maintain a classroom environment protecting the mental and emotional well-being of all students.”
Stevens has refused to participate in the remediation plan.
