Oklahoma Wesleyan University President Dr. Everett Piper is not a fan of the transgender ideology currently being pushed by the Obama administration in schools.
"The government should stay out of the business of the college and the university. The government should not control ideas," Piper tells Life Site News.
In fact, he thinks that the government telling women who identify as men and men who identify as women to embrace their transgender tendencies "would be laughable if it weren't so sad."
"Title IX is a law that was established in 1972 to give women — women! — equal access to the athletic field and to facilities and programs," Piper says.
He finds it ludicrous that Obama is threatening to cut federal funding for schools if the latter refuse to let students use restrooms, showers, and changing facilities based on their preferred gender.

"Now how in the world is it possible for anybody to be pro-woman if they now, under the Title IX 'Dear Colleague' letter, which tells us to deny the biological fact of the female, and give her rights — the biological female's right to the athletic field and to her shower and to her toilet and to her facilities — give those rights to someone who fancies himself or fabricates female identity out of thin air?" Piper asks.
To deny this biological reality "insults the female," maintains Piper, and it even "dumbs down the definition of the human being to nothing but a fabrication and a fantasy rather than a biological fact."
The university president hopes people would choose to pursue the truth instead of being careful about political correctness.
Piper adamantly refuses to let men and women share the same dorm rooms at Oklahoma Wesleyan University despite the threats made by the Obama administration.
He says their university upholds the four pillars of its mission statement — the primacy of Christ, the priority of Scripture, the pursuit of truth, and the practice of wisdom.
"Why would anybody presuppose to tell me to start dishonoring that and start violating that in the way I deal with students in terms of the ideas that I teach, the policies that we promote, or the expectations that we have for our students or faculty?" he says.
