University, students sign notice calling event’ harmful’
Attorney Mary Hasson, whose Christian values and antagonism to gender ideology had sparked outrage among students and faculty, was the subject of an event at Arizona State University yesterday.
Despite over 100 individuals signing a letter to cancel the event, Hasson ( pictured ) still gave her lecture.
During the occasion titled” The Family Under Attack,” she mentioned “recent efforts to destroy families and destroy American kids.”
” An counsel and policy analyst, Mary has been a keynote speech for the Holy See during the United Nations Commission… and serves as a specialist to the U. S. Conference of Catholic Bishops ‘ Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family, Life and Youth”, the description states.
The event planner, Amy Shepard, told The College Fix that ASU’s Center for American Institutions, which organized the event, aims” to maintain and restore British institutions (education, civics, laws, military, church, political, healthcare, the family, etc. )”.
The speech is an expert on home and child development who was asked by our donors to speak on the subject. The dinner guests therefore ask questions of the speakers, Shepard said.” We allow all our listeners to present their point of view.
Ahead of the event, faculty, workers, and students at the school signed a letter calling the lesson “dangerous”, Steve McGuire, a fellow with the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, reported on X.
Free speech is a “guise …used by those who seek marginalization and disempower identity groups such as those within the LGBTQ+ community,” according to the letter.
” To be clear, this is not just an intellectual discussion. The life of LGBTQ+ children and people are actually at interest”, the letter stated.
Shepard told The Fix the Center for American Institutions “never received]the letter ] so no response was made”.
ASU Professor Owen Anderson criticized the double normal in his fellow opponents’ free speech campaigning in a substack article.
According to Anderson, Hasson has sparked controversy because she thinks “minors shouldn’t get chemically castrated or have good body parts removed in the name of female affirmation.”
He even wrote:
ASU faculty and students wasted no time yelling at their laptops to reject this startling exhibit of fanaticism. They immediately posted a notice condemning the occasion, acknowledging that, yes, completely conversation exists—but arguing that some views are so extreme, but beyond the white, that they do not need protection. This chat, they claim, may incite violence against the transgender community at ASU…
No one at this event—or any occasion at ASU, for that matter—is actually putting lives at stake. The only conversation left position is the extreme leftists, who become the standard determiners of what talk is acceptable when dispute is redefined as assault and criticism as an existential threat.
Anderson claimed that Hasson is” who really cares about the trans group.” Her claims stand on their own, backed by scientific information. But, “if faith does come up, she is even demonstrating treatment for the whole people, including their eternal soul”, Anderson wrote.
Ryan Anderson, the chairman of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, criticized the signers in a blog on X in the same way.
” Why yes, @maryricehasson is’ dangerous ‘—because she tells the truth even when it’s unpopular. She’s also consistently benevolent and gracious. Oh, and very smart and well-read. No question people find her ‘ harmful.’ Fortunately for tactics not more work”, he wrote.
