… AND it’s Texas A&M!
Anyone paying attention to that intellectual έρημος CANNOT be surprised that their BOT has now begun banning long stretches of Plato from classrooms because … uh… gender?
”What kind of university” does this, asks the miscreant who tried to teach a Dialogue or two.
The kind of university that tells the miscreant he either dumps transy P. pronto or he can teach Ethics and Engineering instead! UD is not making this up.
The local AAUP says
“A research university that censors Plato abandons its obligation to truth, inquiry, and the public trust — and should not be regarded as a serious institution of higher learning.”
Who da fuck ever regarded A&M as a serious anything? Have you read UD’s years of posts about that football-addled joke?

Reminds UD of Benedictine College in Kansas, where
Sometimes, people here quietly admit, it goes too far. Like the students who loudly proclaim how often they go to Mass, or the young man who quit his classics course because he refused to read the works of ancient Greek pagans.
