When given the choice of standing alongside a decorated military hero or a bunch of militant LGBT activists – choose wisely.
The leadership of Hampden-Sydney College learned that lesson the hard way.
On May 19 I reported to you that the Virginia all-male college had chosen not to renew retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin’s contract – ending his stellar, nine-year career teaching leadership and ethics.
Less than six hours later, the college reversed its decision and offered the retired general a one-year contract.
“Hampden-Sydney College is a fine school with a proud history of young men who have led our country, and I am honored to be a part of shaping the next generation of leaders,” Boykin told me. “I would like to thank the leadership of Hampden-Sydney College for the courage they have demonstrated in reversing their decision and allowing me to remain a part of the Hampden-Sydney community.”
The LGBT activists had wanted Hampden-Sydney to fire Boykin over a joke he made to a gathering of conservatives. They accused him of advocating for violence against gays and transgender people.
“The first man who goes into the restroom with my daughter will not have to worry about surgery,” Boykin told the crowd.

A quick reversal undoubtedly due to the colleges bottom line being threatened.
The writer is a moron - that wasn't a joke, it was a promise.
Amen
So are they firing the a$$hole who made the decision not to renew his contract?
They are waging war against us.
"...“The first man who goes into the restroom with my daughter will not have to worry about surgery,” Boykin told the crowd...."
That is not a threat of violence; that's simple common sense.
Make them take and pass his course on leadership and ethics.
What does this have to do with transgendered people? I have been assured that Caitlin Jenner is a woman.
.......hooray......
It's not true. He did not do it.
There are many of us who want to be able to respect the members of the LGBT community as good Americans, but they must get REAL for that to happen. Americans believe in tolerance. Taking offense at every perceived slight will not win LGBT community any friends. A sense of humor though would improve their image and our tolerance.

This looks like the administration was threatened with a loss of support from angry alumni and contributors. Now if only the alumni and contributors at other colleges cracked down on similar actions by liberal administrators.
Good point.
One year contract, they will quietly let him go next year.
I had a teacher friend that became famous for about 15 minutes in 2008, he took a non PC position, was fired, made it onto Fox news, school backed down, rehired him then the next year released him due to “budget cuts.”
Not only did he lose his job, he found out he was black balled and it took 3 years to find a job teaching again and that was at a very small school that couldn’t afford to participate in the conspiracy.
Ping!
