    San Francisco State University responded to an on-campus protest - during which trans activists assaulted former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines and held her hostage - by praising the protesters and offering them access to counseling.

    Turning Point USA's Bay Area college field representative David Llamas shared a copy of the email, which was sent out by Jamillah Moore, Ed.D. (Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management), on Saturday afternoon.

    "Today, San Francisco State finds itself again at the center of a national discussion regarding freedom of speech and expression," Moore's letter began. "Let me begin by saying clearly: the trans community is welcome and belongs at San Francisco State University. Further, our community fiercely believes in unity, connection, care and compassion, and we value different ideas, even when they are not our own."

    Moore went on to tout the value of diversity and noted that, because SFSU was a very diverse campus, students were likely to be exposed to new ideas and points of view.

    Without mentioning TPUSA (which hosted the event) or Gaines by name, Moore made it clear that she agreed with the protesters: "We may also find ourselves exposed to divergent views and even views we find personally abhorrent.

    "These encounters have sometimes led to discord, anger, confrontation and fear. We must meet this moment and unite with a shared value of learning," Moore continued, praising the "tremendous bravery" of the students who had gone to voice their opposition and making no mention of the students who had not been peaceful in their efforts to protest.

    "Thank you to our students who participated peacefully in Thursday evening's event. It took tremendous bravery to stand in a challenging space. I am proud of the moments where we listened and asked insightful questions. I am also proud of the moments when our students demonstrated the value of free speech and the right to protest peacefully. These issues do not go away, and these values are very much at our core," she wrote.

    Moore concluded the missive by encouraging those who were struggling to "reflect, process, and begin to heal" to seek help from the available campus resources - which included: Equity and Community Inclusion; Counseling and Psychological Services; Dean of Students Office.

    Gaines shared video of the event, which left her barricaded in a room for her own safety. Others reported that protesters had demanded money in exchange for allowing her safe passage out of the building.

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?
