As a former student, the TAMUS Board of Regents has always been a constant thorn in the side of progress. They aren’t appointed based on ability or experience, but based on loyalty to the “conservative” governor and his cronies. I’m heartbroken that this is happening, but not surprised in the slightest.
Well bless their pea pickin’ little hearts, It appears that every member of the Board of Regents was repeatedly dropped on their head when they were children.
This is just that stupid "teach the controversy" shit repackaged for the issue of the day. Remember that? "Oh, we're not saying you 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 teach evolution, just that if you do, you 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 have to teach students about creationism!" Some issues there just aren't two valid sides to, and telling teachers that they can't take a stand one way or the other on those issues is a means to introduce bullshit into the classroom, with these obvious end goals: muddy the waters between fact and fiction, and reduce, or at least call into question, the value of education- particularly at the high school and college levels.
And I am currently in a federal court case fighting for transgender students and trans professors’ first ammendment rights. Have all the depositions and discovery. Would love to share. We’re getting pushed out all over the country, and no one seems to give a good goddamn.
When a conservative government in my province started withdrawing funding from any organization that conducted "advocacy" (meaning working to remedy disadvantage) I did a hunt and replace "advocate" with "educate"in our materials. Seems in Texas even education is not to be allowed.
US News and World Report needs to start taking measures like this when it comes to ranking the schools. Texas A&M has shot up to the top 30 in law school rankings in recent years; however, if faculty are unable to even discuss the issues that shape our world, JD graduates are going to receive less of an education than they would at lower-ranked institutions like UConn, or even UC San Francisco.
Notably, law schools in Texas are accredited by the state, not the ABA. But regardless, both the ABA and USN&WR need to look at Texas A&M and other schools adopting restrictive measures with a more critical eye.
It is the new way in America, to value the CEO over the subject-expert professor when it comes to shaping our youth’s education. Why bother with sending them to school at all?

Why anyone would want to teach or attend any Texas A&M college I'll never know.
I'd say that students who attend will no longer receive an education. It will be a white supremacist indoctrination.
TAMU has been conducting that indoctrination since its founding with no indication that they plan to stop anytime soon.
Very disappointing to see another university bow to hate.
That's very white of them.

Why would anyone ever want to go to college in Texas or Florida
Wow didn’t realize there’s so many snowflakes in Texas
wtf is this...They kicking out all the non cis het students and faculty too?

This is all the more important on Trans Day of Remembrance 🩵🩷

I see that all the Aggie jokes I heard when I lived in Texas were warranted.
