A conservative student group at The George Washington University faces punishment, including the loss of its funding, for refusing to engage in LGBT sensitivity training on campus. The students are now being condemned and attacked on campus by those who claim they're committing an "act of violence" for standing up for their members' individual rights and Judeo-Christian values.

The Young America's Foundation chapter at the Washington, D.C.-based academic institute has refused to participate in LGBT sensitivity training recently made as a requirement.

Amanda Robbins, vice president of GW YAF, told The Christian Post that their objection to the training "stems not only from many of our members' Judeo-Christian values, but also from our organization's commitment to defending the individual rights of every student on campus.""We firmly believe that there should be no such preconditions for any student organization to be able to operate freely on campus," said Robbins.

"GW YAF welcomes any individual to attend our meetings and our events on campus; our organization has always behaved in a respectful manner."

The issue derives from a few bills that GW Student Association, the university's student government, passed requiring the training.

"The student association does not need to dictate this to us or to other students," Robbins told CP regarding the sensitivity training.

"In fact, the national YAF organization has existed for over 50 years, and in this time, it has consistently treated with respect individuals of all orientations."
