While most of America celebrated Thanksgiving last week, it turns out that taxpayer-supported Oakland University was cancelling that venerable holiday to hold “Transgiving,” instead.
Because, of course they did.
According to the program’s description, Oakland worked to “provide a trans-affirming and sober family-holiday-style autumn meal to OU students,” according to Campus Reform.
Campus Reform added that “The Gender and Sexuality Center has coordinated many LGBTQ-themed programming this fall. On Wednesday, November 20, the Center recognized “Transgender Day of Remembrance.”
“Trans and nonbinary students, our chosen family, and all who are willing/able to maintain a trans-affirming dinner table are invited to share this holiday meal and join in community before we leave for November break,” the post says.

The week before, the Center offered students a “Gender Exploration & Affirmation Fair.” The Fair features workshops such as “Exploring and Affirming Your Gender” and “Advocating For Yourself and Others.”
Oakland Univ. was far from alone in bastardizing the Thanksgiving holiday for its leftist, gender grievance agenda.
Last week, a University of Buffalo event prompted students to ask questions such as “Is it right to celebrate Thanksgiving and America’s history of settler colonialism?” and “What can we do to honor this day of mourning for Native communities?”
Ultimately, the event determined that “[w]e can redefine the meaning of Thanksgiving to remember and respect indigenous peoples’ histories.”
Meanwhile, Washington University in St. Louis offered a similar event under the same title of “Decolonizing Thanksgiving.
It is long past time to defund these hotspots of hatred and anti-Americanism.
