One might think that discrimination on a Methodist campus would be difficult to find, but I was appalled last spring when I found the opposite is true.
A friend of mine, who happens to be Jewish, confided in me that some Wesleyan students had called him derisive names. I could not believe something like that would happen at my school, and I was outraged.
Later that week, I encountered discrimination again on campus while in a humanities class discussing two workshops that had been presented at University College Day. The workshops focused on the topic of transgender issues.
