Last Tuesday, student voters at American River College (ARC), Sacramento’s largest community college, threw out the homophobic, right-wing student council and elected an almost full slate of progressives from “ARC Students for Change.”
There is an active Campus Progress chapter at ARC that has been heavily involved in all the recent fights against this conservative force. Since taking office last October, ARC Students for Liberty, headed by anti-gay activist Yuriy Popko, have:
Released a student government resolution in favor of California’s Proposition 8
Opposed the national Day of Silence, a day meant to highlight anti-gay bullying and discrimination
Refused to fund Earth Day celebrations and an annual multicultural-night event
Attempted to cancel a campus-wide punk concert because they believe the music promotes “immoral behavior”
Slashed funding for the Inter-Club Council where all student groups get their money
Please remember that Campus Progress' terms of use do not allow promoting or endorsing any particular political party or candidate for office. Posts or comments that do this will be deleted.
