Except that isn't happening in any classroom...
But hey the strawman arguments are easier to use!
there is onvious discrimination happening in this story so why are you so sure it wont happen to you? Do you not care as long as its not you, and would you even care if it was you?

Well as a real Social Justice Warrior, I've got to say, this is a non issue. And as a white male, I've got to say that I've never been discriminated against in any meaningful way nor will I probably ever be.

Well, this is a UK problem yet you in your OP made it sound like this is an American issue, when it's not. But then again, you guys are obsessed with what college kids are doing these days so I'm sure sooner or later you'll find some kind of similar story here in the US.

I don't see too many straight white men wanting to go to this thing.
but I look at it like drawing Mohammed.
I never thought about doing it. But the second I'm told not to?
I'm doing it.
I bet she identifieds as white on government documents like marriage license etc. Most Tunisians identify as white on marriage license and her name is clearly Arabic or Pakistani.

I would normally never give these idiots a second thought, but they are now infringing on the rights of others.
They are not special.
They are not unique.
They are authoritarians denying the rights of others.
Thus, they only deserve my scorn and total disrespect.

It's funny, to me, in a sad way, that so many people here instantly believe these kinds of posts. How would the organizers of this conference find out which white men are straight and which ones are not? The majority of ATS members are, apparently, so paranoid of some non-existent LGBT 'agenda' that they've suspended their ability to use common sense. Buy hey, be afraid of everything, if you want. What do I care? Just a suggestion, if you simply lived your life, and didn't worry about what other people are doing/saying/thinking you'd be a whole lot happier. But then, who would you demonize? Oh well, Rave-On haters!

Straight White Men Banned From Equality Conference
News that a university lecturers’ union has banned straight, white men from attending their equality conferences in a bid to create “safe spaces” is deeply depressing.
University and College Union equality conferences are held exclusively for women, LGBT, ethnic minorities or disabled people, and members must declare their “protected characteristic” when applying to attend.
Surely UCU can see the irony of hosting an equality conference where – as George Orwell wrote – some are more equal than others?
/facepalm
The Regressive Left is at it again, proving the blatant hypocrisy of a movement that claims to promote equality and understanding while systematically censoring speech they disagree with and openly discriminating against groups they don't consider to be high enough on the victim hierarchy scale they've created.
More and more it seems like the most overt discrimination in modern America is coming from the "progressives", and no other group besides Straight White Men could be targeted in such a way without a severe backlash. But that's equality, that's (pro)regressive!
Exactly how far can this really go? Hold on to your seats, because if these people get their way Cis White Males may not even be able to attend certain College Campuses.

don't see what the problem is.
a 'straight white male' wanting to attend a gay meeting obviously must be unsure of his sexuality, the original poster, and all the others that want to attend these meetings should just join grindr fellate a guy and get it over with.
face it, you're never gonna change your gender, or your race, so that leaves a lot of closet cases desperate to get their cherry burst.
if not, the sanity of those angry at not being gay or in a minority must be questioned.
