Thanks for making it obvious, you don't have a degree and have no understanding of how this has a negative impact on academia regardless of your close minded magatard ideology.

You are kind of confusing me with your MAGA style insults, so I am not sure if you are serious.

On a more serious note, I disagree with you that it is going to scare good teachers away. Who wants teachers who push that ridiculous agenda?

When a state starts threatening it will come after tenure, it will have a negative effect on professors/researchers/lecturers wanting to come work in the state. This has been a thing the last couple of years even before this survey of 1,100 faculty members at universities in Texas.

Texas had over 60% of the 1100 in a survey say they wouldn't encourage graduate students or colleagues to seek employment in Texas.

60% of 1100 is a pretty good pool of respondents if you understand central limit theorem. and this has been a concern in circles I'm in with people who are lifelong academia.

Stuff like this will just compound with all the other crap going on in the state in academia.

Sorry I didn't know anything about the tenure.

That really makes me happy though because I think tenure is the dumbest thing in the history of the world. I am sure you are a great guy, but no employee should have a get out of jail free card.

I am sure you will say that you won't get the best teachers due to this, well it's time for an overhaul in our public universities imo.

Who's with me....

60% of a liberal demographic wouldn't encourage peers to seek opportunities in Texas? Whoa dude.

How fricking sickening. Regardless if you agree with the professor or not, this is only going to scare away more people from wanting to work at universities in Texas whether they would talk about something you agree with or not.



Sickening? You blowing a tranny in an alley off 6th street is sickening

A professional being disciplined for violating the law and jeopardizing a school’s funding to teach woke ideology is wonderful

How do you get to be a department head as an Associate Professor?

I was referring to the dean and department head. They were removed from administrative positions, not fired. Sorry if I wasn’t specific enough. Glad the instructor was fired, however.

Nonsense. Many institutions have all but eliminated the privileges associated with tenure including the California system and Wisconsin. What drives faculty recruitment are salaries, start-up packages, and the prestige of the institution. The notion that someone is going to chose a state institution in New Hampshire over one in Texas because it's a blue state is silly. Sure, some purple-haired English professor might do that, but not in chemistry, mathematics or engineering.

I hear this sort of rhetoric from my academic colleagues from time to time. It's nothing more than fan fiction from a collection of people with a grossly inflated view of their self worth.

Actually, it’s not all that unusual for an associate professor to be a department head. It depends on the size of the department, who is available, length of service, and who is willing to do it.

So not pushing Conservatism = punishment/firing; pushing Conservatism = perfectly fine?

Conservatives are claiming this should result in firing just because someone has a different opinion.

My issue is HOW LONG has this teacher/class been taught & NOBODY had a similar issue?

No, that is incorrect, the person should be disciplined or fired because they were breaking the law and jeopardizing the schools federal funding by pushing an ideology that isn’t part of this class

The fact that conservatives on this board, don’t agree with that ideology in general is secondary

Children’s literature has been taught for hundreds of years or longer

Gender ideology, and that little kids can be any gender that they choose to be or a free animal that they choose to be most likely began being taught during the Biden administration

Professors who actually understand what their job is would not be discouraged from working at a university that expects teachers to comply with standards for how to conduct classroom teaching. There are ways to discuss controversial subjects without being a jerk and insisting students agree with the professor or face being banned from class. That isn’t what an academic freedom is about. But I would hope that professors like the one who was fired would be discouraged from working at universities in Texas and elsewhere. They shouldn’t be teaching.
As a professor, I do expect my students to be respectful to me and to each other, and I, likewise, am respectful of them. Students are free to form their own opinions. I do want them to know why they have formed the opinions they have,
