University pulls trans-focused training announcement after governor notices, but is that really enough oversight?

April 29, 2026 | | Print Article

A university is pulling its transgender-focused training event after the state’s governor made it clear that he will not stand for it.

The story first came to light thanks to LibsofTikTok, which exposed an email from the University of Nebraska at Kearney advertising a voluntary “How Can I Move From Supporting to Empowering Trans-spectrum Students?” workshop. According to the email, the event would “provide strategies and tools to help create a more inclusive classroom for transgender students” by showing attendees “how making small, inclusive adjustments to communicating with students will help them feel more comfortable, perform better academically, and grow personally.”

Look:

The post caught the attention of Nebraska’s Republican Governor, Jim Pillen, who warned that such shenanigans may result in the school’s funding being cut.

“This nonsense is completely irrelevant and destructive to the University of Nebraska’s teaching mission, and out of touch with the values of the state it serves. University leaders must immediately root out this and all other similar programming across the entire system. If the University cannot police its own ranks and rid itself of the woke disease that has degraded so many ‘elite’ higher education institutions, it risks investigations, cuts to its funding, and, most importantly, the loss of the confidence of the people it serves,” he wrote.

It didn’t take long for the university to react by pulling the module, which Pillen celebrated on X.

Look:

“Following my post last night, the University of Nebraska at Kearney took down the objectionable content. That is good news. I — and others in Nebraska and around the country — will continue to hold our higher education institutions accountable, keeping them true to the law and the values of the people they serve,” he said. “The mission of education in America is not the advancement of woke indoctrination — it’s to grow critical learners and thinkers prepared to become the next generation of leaders and business builders. That’s the mission, and we cannot allow Nebraska institutions to be distracted from it.”

X users were skeptical of the win, suggesting the school may just be rebranding it for the future:
