the appellate court in ohio also said trans teachers have no 1A rights to defend students. i know because it was my case. would be happy to talk about that because people need to know what’s coming. we’re taking the case to scotus.
Foreign enrollment at US universities has cratered. Those students aren't coming back. MAGAstan is a very stupid place and no one wants anything it has.
Texas Tech has taken a draconian step backward with the 2026 memorandum issued by Chancellor Brandon Creighton. The new "Alternate Materials Rule" forces professors to skip over LGBTQ+ history and literature in core courses, even when it is included in industry-standard textbooks. Most alarmingly, the university is now dictating what graduate students can and cannot research, effectively banning SOGI-centered dissertations. These policies undermine the value of a Texas Tech degree and signal a hostile environment for LGBTQ+ students and scholars. Academic freedom is dead here.
They're really not being shy about wanting to erase all mention of lgbt people and prevent any further research showing it is normal and healthy so they can manipulate narrativea.
Proving, once again, how important it is to NOT be living in Texas. Who would have ever thought that a university (the absolute bastion for higher level thought) would succumb to such a biggotted philosophy. Oh, yeah. The universities in Germany did the same thing in the 30's (under much the same pressures). I hate to be called hyperbolic, but I can' help but feel a sense of deja vu.
Yeah but everything worked out well for the Thousand Year Reich, right? So it should end equally Götterdammerung well now, too. "Those ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it".
This is so scary to me! In these times any kind of censorship can lead in so many directions. If it has to be, keep it in Texas, but I'd rather it be nowhere.
If we had a normal SCOTUS, I'd say this was an open-and-shut case of viewpoint discrimination that violates the 1st Amendment. Good luck watching them explain why Rosenberger v. Rector doesn't apply.
I wonder how this is going to affect enrollment? Also, whether degrees from Texas Tech are going to be seen as "lesser" by job recruiters or HR departments who screen applicants. Would be karmic to have a university system die because they decided not to engage with reality.
Why would any sane SHRM professional consider hiring from such a swamp of animosity dripping with pretext disguised as an indoctrinational, I mean, educational institution?
This bigoted, racist former Republican senator Knowlton Chandler now chancellor at Texas Tech University has issued a deeply concerning directive to five Texas universities and two health centers under his authority, implementing a policy that restricts content related to sexual orientation and gender identity and halts associated education degree programs.
This move comes after a previous attempt tied to racial discrimination was blocked by a judge as unconstitutional, raising further concerns about a pattern of exclusionary policies.
These decisions undermine the role of education in fostering understanding, inclusivity, and critical thinking among students.
This approach represents a step backward—one that limits academic freedom and fails to support a diverse and open learning environment.
Such actions deserve scrutiny and, where appropriate, strong condemnation.
I would hope that the students take action to show that this policy is unacceptable and demand it be retracked
It’s always the same asshats from Texas! MAGAT LOSERS!😡🖕🏽You're going to retract your actions eventually so just stop being bigots and drop the Hate! 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🌈🦄

And, once again Texas shoves its head up trump's ass.
“Land of the free”
Good luck attracting any students other than hardcore right wing MAGA idiots, Texas Tech.

I hate this timeline so much.

Obvious 1A violation is obvious . . .
Thank you Erin.

I’ll be hyperbolic right beside you. 🫶💪🫶

They won’t explain anything. They’ll use the shadow docket. But of they do, it’ll get attention.
It would be interesting to see how their enrollment numbers and income will drop. What are these assholes scared of?
Just because they refuse to teach about anything related to the LGBTQIA2S+ community doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Always has, always will.
What absolute horseshit. I hope they lose both professors and students in droves. 😡😡😡
