A Texas Military Vet Dropped Out of Penn State Law School Rather Than Submit to Its Mandatory Anti-Racism Course

David Blackman, a native of Plano, Texas, was thrilled to be starting law school at Penn State in the fall of 2025. A former 911 call operator and a veteran of the Texas State Guard, Blackman, 26, loved the university's football team and its location in the Appalachian Mountains. "I’ve been a fan of Penn State since I was a teenager," Blackman told the Washington Free Beacon. He arrived on campus in August 2025, a 50 percent merit scholarship in hand, excited for game nights in Beaver Stadium and a three-year reprieve from the Texas heat. Then he sat through his first anti-racism class.

'Antiracist Critical Pedagogy': Penn State Law School's New Strategic Plan, Devoted to 'Antiracism,' Raises Legal Questions

In an internal planning document distributed to faculty last month, Pennsylvania's flagship law school promised to devote the entire institution to "antiracism," from recruitment and hiring decisions to research and classroom instruction. Penn State Dickinson Law said it would "recruit, retain, teach and research according to antiracist principles" and embrace an "antiracist critical pedagogy," according to a copy of the document obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Leftists' brains BREAKING: Election denial, canceled classes, and cutting off family for the holidays



Every leftist’s nightmare has come true. That is, Donald Trump has won the presidency, and their lives will likely get better because of it.

The devastating loss has Democrats now claiming that the 2024 election has been stolen, as they point out that it appears 20 million voters came out of nowhere in the 2020 election for Joe Biden and have now disappeared.

“PolitiFact even points out, ‘No, 20 million Democratic votes didn’t disappear, and there’s no evidence the 2024 election was stolen,’” Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” comments.

“It’s fascinating to watch all of them now do what they accused us of doing all of this time. We were the election deniers for four years, now they can deny the election, and no one seems to care whatsoever,” he continues.


A survey found that more than half of Harris voters have considered leaving the country after Trump’s win, though 44% of them would like to move but probably won’t. Five percent say they will definitely move and another 5% say they probably will.

“If the reason why you’re worried about potentially moving is because of a federal abortion ban, you could just leave when you need the abortion. These people are not that bright,” Burguiere says. “Go fly somewhere else, and you can escape the little 'Handmaid’s Tale' country we have for you here.”

Leftists are taking Trump’s win so poorly that they’re even canceling classes at their prestigious universities like Harvard, Penn, and Columbia.

The dean of Harvard reportedly told students to let themselves “feel a bunch of emotions about how this is going to impact us in the future and listen to other people and how they feel about it, too.”

“Now, of course, you can’t listen to all other people ‘cause some of them might like it, so don’t listen to those people. But listen to other people who also have b****es and complaints about the election results and the democracy they hold so dear,” Burguiere says.

A Yale psychiatrist is also urging MSNBC viewers to shun Trump voting family members over the holidays. Dr. Amanda Calhoun told viewers that there is a “societal push that if someone is in your family, they are entitled to your time, and I think the answer is absolutely not.”

“If you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people and to tell them why,” Calhoun said.

“There’s only one actual response to that. It is one word long, and it is ‘good,’” Burguiere says.

Trans-identifying Democrat accused of threatening to kill Trump



A Pennsylvania man who purports to be a woman has been arrested and held without bail after he allegedly threatened to kill former President Donald Trump last week.

On Friday, Paul Gavenonis, 74, approached a transportation office employee at Penn State University and attempted to purchase a commuter lot parking pass. During a conversation with the employee, Gavenonis mentioned a Trump rally scheduled to take place at PSU the following day.

'Frankly, I hope somebody would get him.'

As their conversation continued, Gavenonis then allegedly made violent threats against the former president. "I hate Donald Trump. I’d like to shoot that guy," he reportedly said while pretending to rack a gun with his hands, according to the New York Post.

"You can’t take a gun in or the students will see it," he allegedly added after discussing scaling a tall building.

Gavenonis' alleged comments worried the employee, who reported them to the authorities within minutes. Gavenonis was arrested just after 10:30 p.m. Friday, jail records showed.

When questioned by the U.S. Secret Service, Gavenonis allegedly admitted that he "probably" could kill Trump at a rally and that he had a rifle at home.

"Frankly, I hope somebody would get him," he also told federal and local law enforcement, according to the arrest affidavit.

Gavenonis was eventually charged with making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct, a court docket showed.

He was also denied bail in part because he was deemed "suicidal," the docket noted.

Both the court docket and jail records list Gavenonis as a white female. The Centre County Public Defender’s Office also claimed he uses she/her pronouns, the Post reported.

When Blaze News reached out to the Centre County jail, Lt. Mark Waite provided Gavenonis' booking photo but did not clarify whether he is being housed in a male or female facility.

The Kansas City Star reported that Gavenonis is a registered Democrat.

Three months ago, Trump came within millimeters of losing his life after Thomas Crooks fired multiple shots at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, about 140 miles west of the Penn State campus in State College. One bullet tore through Trump's ear, while another killed former fire chief Corey Comperatore. Two others were critically wounded.

Then last month, Ryan Routh allegedly set up a sniper's nest at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, with the intention of assassinating Trump. Fortunately, the suspect was spotted before he could fire a shot.

Victorious NCAA national champion wrestler breathlessly underscores the importance of faith in post-match interview: 'Christ's resurrection is everything'



Aaron Brooks is well on his way to realizing his goal of winning four NCAA titles. The 22-year-old secured his third straight national title over the weekend, wrestling in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for Penn State University's Nittany Lions in the NCAA championship wrestling finals.

Despite his success and athletic excellence, Brooks underscored in a post-match interview that he is under no illusions about what and who really matter.

"It’s all God," he told ESPN. "It's all for His glory."

The Herald-Mail reported that Aaron Brooks first publicly expressed his intention to "win four NCAA titles" on Feb. 1, 2018.

In order to become the sixth three-time NCAA champion in Penn State's history, Brooks first had to win Saturday by a 13-4 decision in round one against Matthew Waddell of Chattanooga; win by forfeit in round two against Will Feldkamp of Clarion; win by a 4-1 decision in the quarter-final against Kaleb Romero of Ohio State; and win by a 6-3 decision in the semi-final against Trent Hidlay of North Carolina State.

With former President Donald Trump looking on, Brooks ultimately scored two takedowns in a 7-2 decision over Northern Iowa's Parker Keckeisen in the finals, going 5-0 in Tulsa and ending the season with a 17-1 record — a 67-3 record overall.

In a post-match interview with ESPN, Brooks was asked whether his strong faith helped him "on a night like tonight."

"It's everything," said the Big Ten champion. "Christ’s resurrection is everything. Not just His life, but His death and resurrection. You can only get that through Him, the Holy Spirit, only through Him — no false prophets, no Mohammad, no anyone else — only Jesus Christ Himself."

Visibly taken aback by the young man's confident declaration of faith, the reporter attempted to change the subject from theology to technique, saying, "Power and finesse: Your calling card."

Before the reporter could formulate a question, Brooks interjected, saying, "The Holy Spirit. ... Acts, chapter 1, verse 8."

The Scriptural passage the champion referred to concerns power: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (King James Version).

"Power: Holy Spirit power," continued Brooks. "That's everything. That's where it's from."

The reporter asked, "Where did the finesse come from?"

Brooks smiled and answered, "Holy Spirit as well."

"And Mom and Dad, maybe?" said the reporter.

"A little bit of both, but all God," said Brooks.

Brooks indicated that the purpose of his win on Saturday was to share his beliefs and execute God's will: "He gives me this platform for this right here, to exalt Him. That’s all it’s for. When I’m suffering, cutting weight, away from my family, it’s all for Him. It’s all for His glory.”

In a post title chat with Penn State Athletics, Brooks said that wherever God calls him to go, "I'm ready to go."

He noted that ahead of the tournament, he was reading 2 Timothy 2:3, which says, "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."

"Endure, endure, endure as a good soldier," Brooks emphasized.

Brooks reportedly has one year of NCAA eligibility remaining.

Penn State professor instructs college students to watch gay porn to awaken their bisexual identity: 'See how quickly you feel aroused'



A Penn State University professor is facing controversy for instructing college students to watch gay or lesbian porn to awaken their bisexual identity.

Pennsylvania State University sociology professor Sam Richards reportedly challenged his students to watch gay porn to see how quickly they'll "feel aroused," according to Fox News. The controversial comments were made during a Dec. 6 lecture titled: "A Conversation on Trans Issues, TERFs [Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists], and The Binary."

"If you're straight, watch gay or lesbian porn and see how quickly you feel aroused. And how you can't control that," Richards told his students. "You’ll realize that, ‘Oh, damn, I could be sexualized by people who are like me.'"

Richards argued that everyone is "at some level non-binary" and "easily bisexual."

The class was mostly silent in response to the claim.

Richards responded to the silence by saying, "I might have hit a nerve there. Did I hit a nerve?"

Richards allegedly then singled out the "straight folks" in the class, "especially men."

The Penn State professor reportedly told his male students, "Watch gay porn. See if you feel that feeling. If you feel that feeling, look in a mirror, and say, 'Huh, maybe I'm just feeling some things that I’m just afraid to release.' And maybe you release that and maybe you'd be surprised that maybe you actually are fine being more bisexual."

Professor Richards reportedly told the class a story about a student who transitioned to a different gender.

Richards is said to have provided female students advice on how to urinate while standing upright.

Richards purportedly said, "Women, you should know this, by the way, the little trick, you can have a little piece of leather and fold it up and use that to go in the urinal or go outside."

A Penn State representative told Fox News that "academic freedom for faculty" is important in promoting "critical thinking and discussion."

The lecture was uploaded to Richards' YouTube channel dedicated to the SOC 119 course. The video of the lecture was deleted from the YouTube channel.

The Penn State website stated, "Every semester 725 students register for SOC 119, the largest race and ethnic relations course in the country."

The university claimed that the course provides students "the opportunity to re-examine the world and challenge what they believe to be their place in it from a new perspective." The description said Richards' class is "praised by students and faculty from all sides of the political spectrum."

In 2021, Richards sparked uproar when he instructed an "average white" student to stand up in front of a lecture hall of 700 people. The professor drew attention to the white student to demonstrate the effects of systemic racism and claimed that the white student has an inherent "benefit" over any black student.

The out-of-state tuition at Pennsylvania State University is more than $38,000 a year.
