I'm an Aggie, so I'm happy he is resigning.

This is in response to a video posted about a teacher teaching about transgender issues in a children''s literature course.

The president handled the situation poorly, and lied about it

Texas A&M University President Mark Welsh Resigns/

quote:

Texas A&M University President Mark A. Welsh III will step down on Friday after more than a week of turmoil sparked by a viral video of a student confronting a professor over gender content in a children’s literature course, the Texas A&M University System announced Thursday.

The video, along with an audio recording of Welsh initially refusing to fire Professor Melissa McCoul, first circulated online on Sept. 8 after state Rep. Brian Harrison, R-Midlothian, shared it on the social media platform X.

Welsh fired McCoul a day later, but the move did not satisfy Harrison, or Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who did not think Welsh handled the situation properly.

“His ambivalence on the issue and his dismissal of the student’s concerns by immediately taking the side of the professor is unacceptable,” Patrick posted on X last week. “Most parents, students, and Aggie alumni expect Texas A&M to reflect the values of our state and our nation as well as A&M’s rich history. If President Welsh will not or cannot reflect those values, then change needs to happen.”

You remember when the student who recorded that filthy teacher told the Dean she wanted the teacher fired and the Dean responded with, “That ain’t happening,”?

I remember.

Not only did the nasty piece of shite professor get fired, but the President is out on his arse, too.

I bet they wish they had just done the right thing to begin with, now.

This is not the time to make fun of Aggie. I’m proud of them today.

The professor was so confident - fired

Dean was even more confident- fired

aTm President was condescending, arrogant, and tried to blame student - fired.

All because they want to trans children for some weird reason.
