The basic story is that a literature professor at Texas A&M was conducting a lecture about children's authors and in the context of the discussions used pronouns other than the two that the GOP seems to dwell on.
A student was incensed and a discussion ensued, that essentially was the student saying the law was broken in even discussing such matters. The instructor politely offered for the student to leave if they were uncomfortable.
And how do we know this? Because "someone" in the class recorded it and posted it online. To me, it feels an awful lot like a setup, but no matter. There was additional fallout.
The student wound up calling the chair of the department and recording that conversation and posting it (not sure if that's a crime in Texas, but whatever). The chair said nothing would happen, and wanted to move on.
She posted more to social media about how she was expelled from the classroom and how this was a violation of her rights (there was also some "I'm personally offended by the subject matter" thrown in there too - snowflake much?)
But then various ideological political idiots in Texas inserted themselves and asked the president of the university to act. The teacher in question and a few others were fired. The chair was fired. The curriculum came under scrutiny.
And the president of the university was again called upon to do more... and since the attached was written, he, too, has been fired.
What have we become?
Like I said, this all felt like a setup. And Texas can go fuck itself.
