#TexasAM #University said Friday that it would end its #women’s & #gender studies program, & that the syllabuses for hundreds of courses had been altered under new policies limiting how #race & gender ideology may be discussed in classrooms.
The university said that 6 courses had been canceled entirely because of the new rules, out of the ~5,400 that were planned for this semester at one of the nation’s largest #public #universities.
@Nonilex old white men rule to only talk about old white men #patriarchy

Talk about #cancelculture ! Looking forward to a rapid response from the #freespeech warriors ( but don’t hold your breath )…
Not in Texas anyway
The #TexasAM system’s regents — all of them appointed by Gov #GregAbbott, a #Republican — approved the restrictive policies late last year, & officials have been scrambling since then to interpret & enforce them. Supporters contend that the rules are appropriate measures to prevent political ideologies, especially those often associated with the left, from entering classrooms. Opponents say the approach encourages self- #censorship & is itself ideological.

Gregg Abbot can suck donkeys...24/7
From Jan 7
Faculty at #TexasAM #University were told this week that roughly 200 courses in the #College of Arts & Sciences could be affected by a new system policy restricting classroom discussions of #race & #gender, the implementation of which has already led administrators to direct a #philosophy professor to remove #Plato readings from a core course.

I read this as: "Making People In Texas Even More Fucking Stupid, Bigoted, And Racist By Decree!"
