Activism Highlight On-Campus:

In September of 2010 Phil Cleary exposed the far left agenda of the Gustavus Adolphus Freshman Orientation.

Cleary attended “Inside Scoop” a mandatory part of freshman orientation where students were instructed on how to come out of the closet to their room-mates, the joy of atheism, as well as a number of other sexually explicit topics.

Cleary took a video of the entire session and posted it on LI’s Campus Reform. The video went viral and gained over 40,000 views on YouTube. National media outlets National Review and World Net Daily picked up the story and put pressure on the Gustavus Adolphus administrators.

As media pressure grew, the Dean of Gustavus Adolphus was forced to respond to the orientation programming. School administrators hosted an open forum discussing the “Inside Scoop” session and claimed they would change the format in the future.

What you stand for is what defines you

Conservative students on college campuses are marginalized, threatened, and silenced by threatening students who oppose their views, or radicalized liberal professors or administrators. Campus Reform—and readers like you—are pushing back. Progressives would rather threaten you with violence, silence your conservative views, or call for you to be "canceled" from our society if you oppose them. They say your views are dangerous, hateful, fearful, or racist.

They have it all wrong. What we stand for defines us—it always has.

We can no longer remain silent. It is time for conservatives young and old to unite as a single voice to boldly proclaim what we stand for and oppose the mob.
