Her name is Melissa McCoul.

Melissa McCoul's CV


quote:

Melissa McCoul, the professor fired by Texas A&M University on Tuesday for allegedly not changing her course content to match its description, is disputing her cause for termination and exploring legal options, according to a statement her attorney sent to The Texas Tribune on Wednesday.

McCoul’s attorney Amanda Reichek said the listed reason for termination was that she failed to change her course content to align with the catalog and course descriptions despite numerous instructions to do so. However, Reichek countered that McCoul’s course content was consistent with the descriptions, and she wasn’t instructed to change her course content. She had also been teaching the course for multiple years at that point with no difficulty.

McCoul has appealed the firing and is exploring legal action, Reichek said.

Texas A&M President Mark A. Welsh III terminated McCoul after a video went viral that showed a confrontation between her and a student in one of her summer classes, an upper-level children’s literature course. The video, which does not show anyone’s face, captures audio of a student objecting to a professor teaching that there are more than two genders. The student said this conflicts with President Donald Trump’s executive order and her religious beliefs, and McCoul responded by saying she had a right to teach the lesson while the student had a right to leave.

She is, as they say, differently visaged.

Differently visaged enough to stop a clock.

I noticed on her CV that she has a Graduate Minor in Gender Studies from Notre Dame. WTF is a Catholic university doing offering a graduate degree in gender studies?

She’s not the only one that got fired at A&M.

A higher up in the administration who my wife worked directly under and stabbed my wife’s carrier on her back because she was a conservative also got fired for being a liberal hack and for bending the rules and stating there were more than two genders
My wife who is now retired is
Ecstatic about it!!

They’re so defiant in defending their delusions. Awe-inspiring.

If they want to teach kids that a man is not in fact a man, why do they throw such a tantrum over us wanting to post the 10 commandments in classrooms?

Free speech and democracy only applies to them. To the rest of us, we need to obey.

The get away with it because they didn't formally code their beliefs 2,000 years ago, thus their beliefs aren't "religion."
