“Never Share My Hearth, Never Think My Thoughts, Whoever Does Such Things”

A statement from Texas A&M University President Mark A. Welsh III:

I learned this afternoon that key leaders in the College of Arts and Sciences approved plans to continue teaching course content that was not consistent with the course’s published description. As a result, I directed the provost to remove the dean and department head from their administrative positions, effective immediately. Our students use the published information in the course catalog to make important decisions about the courses they take in pursuit of their degrees. If we allow different course content to be taught from what is advertised, we let our students down. When it comes to our academic offerings, we must keep our word to our students and to the state of Texas.
Who knew Aggies were such snowflakes?
I'm referring @TAMU to the Trump Administration for investigation... and asking Gov @GregAbbott_TX to fire the A&M officials involved and to instruct his Regents at all public universities to immediately end all DEI and LGBTQ indoctrination.

Hidden camera video and audio, letters to the Trump Administration and Governor Abbott, as well as some of the course materials my office has obtained, are in 🧵 below.
This is where it gets interesting. 🤨  Wait’ll he finds out what a political radical Theodore Geisel was. You gotta appreciate how he sandwiches racism in among all the anti-LGBTQ anger. Tolerance is a sin we must not teach in college, donchaknow? Freedom of thought is a no-no. Learning about a world that includes non-white and non-cisgendered people is indoctrination. If we don’t learn about them, they’ll go away. Or something.
Many Texas professors are looking for jobs in different states, citing a climate of fear and anxiety on their college campuses due to increased political interference, according to a recent survey conducted by the American Association of University Professors.

The survey interviewed nearly 4,000 faculty across the southern U.S., including more than 1,100 from Texas. About a quarter of the Texas professors said they have applied for higher education jobs in other states in the last two years, and more than 25% said they soon intend to start searching for out-of-state positions. Of those who aren’t thinking of leaving, more than one-fifth said they don’t plan to stay in higher education in the long-term.

“Morale is down,” said one Texas faculty member at a public four-year university in a written response. “Friends have lost contracts for no discernable [sic] reason. We live in fear of using the wrong word. We self-censor. We do not have academic freedom.”

The top reason faculty cited in the survey for wanting to change jobs was the state’s broad political climate. In Texas, faculty have criticized new state laws banning diversity, equity and inclusion programs in universities; requiring university governing boards to establish policies on granting and revoking tenure; and limiting faculty’s role in crafting courses and hiring colleagues. Other reasons included salary and academic freedom concerns, the survey found.
Everything is going just the way the Lege wants it to.

    Reminds me of the story I heard the other day of the formerly Texas family who moved to Russia on the pretext that Texas was too woke for them because a STUDENT! told their daughter about . . . . LESBIANS!. The entire family moved to that paradise of morality, Putin's Russia where the 23 or so year old son talked his family into investing their family wealth into this great business opportunity a good guy he'd met had of importing used Chinese trucks into Russia for resale only to have the guy turn out to be a Russian scammer who stole all of their money. Last I heard they wanted suckers to give them money now that it would seem their several pleas to Putin to help them get it back have fallen on deaf ears - like they really believe he's just waiting to bail them out.

      I remember that poor sap. Terrified of the world, and now the world plays with him like a cat with a mouse.
