Cell phones and social media are going to make this stuff impossible to hide moving forward for the left.

They will have to own it and justify it in the court of public opinion but they can’t play the “this isn’t happening” game when people can see it and hear it for themselves.

This president would be clearing out their office in a week at UF or FSU.

This is a relatively new thing. My kid is an Aggie, Tech, and Baylor Grad. When she was at TAMU in the late 2000's. TAMU was conservative. I think that charged in the Sharp Admin. That dude was toxic and had been a leading Dem in Texas Politics. Who couldn't see that coming.

i'm class of 03 and it was still extremely conservative back then (although even then there were some cracks showing in the structure). started sliding in the 2010s, and then the summer of love in 2020 pretty much finished it off. pretty much like any other school now.

i know people here wont really understand this, but i have always maintained that the demise of Aggie Bonfire is what triggered the transition for a lot of sort of nuanced reasons.

objecting to transgender lesson
In college?
I guess I'd need to know more about the lesson. But teaching about transgenderism in college, is very different than teaching about it in 1°/2° school.

Say what yall want about Jeff Landry, but he would have cleaned out the entire department if this happened at LSU.

He can’t control professors going rogue, unless I’m missing something.

When I was in grad school at LSU - School of Social Work 78-80 - homosexuality was a mental illness according to the DSM....

No, it wasn’t.
From the DSM –II Text Revision (74-80)

quote:

Sexual Orientation Disturbance

The diagnosis was applied to individuals whose sexual interests were directed toward the same sex and who were experiencing distress about, or had a desire to change, their sexual orientation.

Distress about Homosexuality: The individual explicitly stated being disturbed by their homosexual feelings.

Conflict with Homosexuality: The individual felt in conflict with their homosexual orientation.

Desire to Change: The individual wished to change their sexual orientation.


The DSM -III (80) had the same basic criteria, but called it ego-diatonic homosexuality.

DSM-II also stated:
quote:

DSM-II—published in 1968—states: “Homosexuality per se is one form of sexual behavior, and with other forms of sexual behavior, which are not by themselves psychiatric disorders, are not listed in this nomenclature.”


Please feel free to DV en masse because facts were presented

I guess we are soon to find out if that is harder or easier than controlling a massive and influential strong conservative leaning alumni base.

Is this the same president that originally told the student that firing the teacher "was not going to happen"? If so, it appears that loser lied and it did happen. I wonder what changed the mind of that loser president?


Yes same one. Apparently he’s a retired 4 star general. Probably one of the reasons the military has went to shite.

That was the first thing I thought when I read his statement. Is this the same president who said firing the staff member wasn't "going to happen"? Because if so, this just shows how when something happens you think is unjust, make a fricking stink about it. God knows the other side does.

This was completely taken care of thanks to social media. The legacy media certainly doesn't have the power. But the people do.

Use your voice like this student did. It works.

The homosexuality at A&M is all over the place and has been forever.

You sound ridiculous and completely uninformed.

The knock against A&M, as far as higher education circles goes, has been the university’s tendency to cling to “traditional values,” as well as its relative refusal to embrace liberal arts type of stances and causes. In a nutshell, Texas A&M has long been accused of being too politically conservative.

For years, A&M has been told they lack “social” and political diversity.

On 95% of lists of the most conservative universities in the country, A&M is up there with the likes of BYU and Liberty.

You can cling to your silly “gay yell leader” tropes all you want (5 members of a student body of over 70,000), but trying to incorporate that into the reality of the situation is dumb.

Brazos County (TAMU) had the highest percentage of voters for Trump amongst SEC schools.

Feel free to do your own actual research on the subject.

And bravo to this young lady for standing up and doing the right thing. It was brave, and we need so much more of this.

You have to admit, the yell practice dudes in overalls are at least a little gay.

I see that you and I won't agree overall.

But, do you at least admit that the "yell leader" stuff and blatantly homosexual and embraced by the A&M population?

We've all seen it.

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.

Hey. What data was presented that they changed the DSM based upon?

Oh right. It was just a bunch of figs who changed it.

Carry on.

There’s actually never been a gay yell leader in the history of the university.

That being said, I’d have zero issue adding some cute cheerleaders (A&M has an award-winning cheer squad, believe it or not) to the sidelines during football games.

They participate at all other sporting events. And the dance team does actually play a major part of the team entrance at Kyle … but more would be nice.

This is in the English department. Why the hell is the professor talking about “biology” like she is an expert in that area? English isn’t a biological science or any type of science at all.

These people are nuts. No such thing as trans. You are either male or female. End of lesson.
