āIām not sure this is legal to be teaching,ā the student says. āAccording to our president, thereās only two genders and he said he would be freezing agenciesā funding programs that promote gender ideology. And this also very much goes against, not only myself but a lot of peopleās religious beliefs.ā

āIt is unacceptable for A&M system faculty to push a political agenda,ā Glenn Hegar, the schoolās chancellor, said in a statement. āEarly investigations appear to indicate this course failed to comply with clear instructions to align course descriptions with course materials.ā
Texas A&M passed an audit earlier this year to ensure that the school complies with a new state law banning DEI in public universities, according to the Battalion, the student newspaper.
I would buy that some true believers might feel that way, but I think most elitists (not sure Abbott is in that upper echelon and I donāt know how much xtianist horseshit he personally believes.) would assume itās okay for themselves to have a broader view (if only to reject it), but they donāt want the peasants to get any uppity notionsā¦
So, for instance, you see Harvard grads like Ted Cruz, Romney, Cotton, DeSantisā¦W went to Yale, and so on.
I view it the same way the business class view something like WSJ - they need to see the unvarnished truth about things to really be captains of industry. Hiding things because they are politically incorrect is not going to be helpful for them.
Thatās the way todayās elites mostly view education - they probably want a return to where it was only the aristocrats that had any (useful, meaning liberal, in every sense of that word) education, and sure, the peasants can get āeducatedā in a trade so they are useful to the moneyed elite as slave wages, but have no notions of changing anything about their station in lifeā¦if they can expunge any and all liberal (again, not necessarily politically liberal) things from universities, thatād be exactly what they want.
