the Shooting The subsequent resignation of the university president shows a battle at the state level about when and how LGBTQ topics are discussed on the university campus.
The state lawmakers say that what the Texas A and M.
Brian Evans, president of the Texas Conference of the American Association of University Professors, said the extinguishing “is very difficult to see because it creates a chilling effect on other faculty members who want to make sure of ideas.”
Everything began in an English course entitled “Literature for Children” at Texas A & M and demanded a summer session that records the professor’s response to her objections to some of the course of the training course.
Professor Melissa McCole was participating in a drawing called “Unicorn Sex”, which explains the concepts of sexual expressions, identity and sex while going to the chapter “Jude saves the world”, a novel about 12 years that came out as in principle, ” according to Texas Tribune.
“I only have a question, because I am not completely sure that this is a legal matter of teaching,” the student said, citing executive orders from President Trump. There was little back and forth before the student was expelled from the class.
The virus was gone early in the fall after it was republished by Representative Brian Harrison on X.
Harrison said at the beginning of the thread: “I caught on a tape,” Harrison said at the beginning of the thread. “TEXAS A & M student came out of the class after objection to transforming transgender people … and the president of A&M defends” LGBTQ Studies “.
The other video showed the president at the time, Mark A. Wilch defends the inclusion of LGBTQ content in the semester.
“These people cannot choose who are their customers, and what citizens who serve them and want to understand the issues that affect the people who will treat them,” Wilsh says. “Therefore, there is a professional reason to teach some of these courses.”
Soon after a viral video and criticism from the Republicans, including the governor of the state, Greg Abbott, McCole was expelled; She is now suing the university.
The reverse reaction has become very intense Stem As president.
“There are many different theories about the gender that can be discussed, perhaps, but the professor did not do it. She told the student,” I have an opinion. If you do not agree with my opinion, you can leave the class. ”Sherry Silvertter, his prominent colleague at the Texas Foundation for Public Policy, said:“ This is not an open investigation, this is not academic freedom, this is indoctrination. ”
But it seems that the accident was terrified at least one college in the state.
Angelo State University, a public school in San Angelo, is developing policies in a place to remove the LGBTQ content and discussions from the classroom. Prison professors are not allowed in their email signatures and they cannot refer to students through the preferred name that differs from their legal name.
“Angelo State University is the General Institute of Higher Education, and thus is subject to both federal and federal law, executive orders and directives from the President of the United States, executive orders and directives from the governor of Texas.
But even Harrison, the legislator in the state who called for the expulsion of Professor A & M, admits that there is no law prohibiting such issues in a semester of the college.
“The ruler, the lieutenant and the head of the lieutenant everyone told everyone for two years so far we have passed the ban on DEI and sexual transformation in public universities,” Harrison said previously in an interview with a conservative radio program. “The only small problem with that? It is a complete lie … Texas – despite what the ruler said in a tweet yesterday, that this is a violation of the law – there is no law for the state.”
In its statement, the state of Angelo indicated Trump’s executive order, which announced that there were only two types of non -changed sexes, and the federal government banned messages containing “sex ideology” and demanding sexual facilities such as bathrooms based on biological sex.
He also pointed to a message from Abbott announces that the state only recognizes the two sexes, and all Texas agencies must have policies in line with that.
Texas was one of the main countries that fight LGBTQ and the diversity of efforts, stocks and integration (Dei) in schools, which recently passed a law prohibiting Dei’s initiatives at the level of K-12 province, which leads to the disposal of their clubs for LGBTQ students, according to General media Houston.
Others argue that this is a moment that societies, faculty and students need progress and retreat to freedom of expression attacks.
“These policies are necessarily brought up directly from the government. They are indirectly coming from government pressure. But then, higher education institutions or private companies make decisions to comply with these states that exceed the rhetoric of the law.
“These policies are taken very quickly. These decisions about what will happen to professors are taken very quickly. It is important to understand the leadership of universities that their societies and the world are watching. So I would like to say it is important for people who believe that freedom of speech is.”
