I'm am sure she is a legitimate enrolled student. But this is about genuine tolerance, not about how Leonard Leo and the Federalist society are running circles around liberals on issues like this. Lets get back on topic and talk about how video games and helicopter moms are hurting education. Not some strategic legal/political framework for social issues setup by the boot-licking MAGA morons who can't read books. Regarding the lawsuit... It would have been filed by the student (and still may be) if Texas A&M didn't do what Leo wanted. They would determine the best legal venues to pursue this (Texas, district, circuit, etc..) before they selected student, school, etc.... They wanted this issue to play out and be decided in the courts for the future. Can an EO control what is taught in universities (i don't know if this was the exact objective). Sorry, off topic, lets get back to young people tolerance.....

Under Clinton, he used a Department of Defense Directive (not even an executive order) to establish Don't Ask Don't Tell. 13,000 servicemembers were kicked out of the military from 1994 to 2011 under DADT. As it relates to First Amendment, the servicemember didn't even have to be LGBTQ. Just making the verbal statement (sometimes unintentionally) was grounds for separation. Plenty of examples to go google.

As the dissenting opinion? JFC..... More basic, surely you do not think the First Amendment is absolute? Or as a government employee, the First Amendment gives you absolute freedom of speech without consequnce?

Are you not aware of the term "finder of fact"? In my post, this is what i said a finder of fact would conclude: I think that the EO does say any institution taking federal money, or as promulgated by the State, state money, that promoting anything other than 2 genders is a violation. I’m not the finder of fact. According to you this issue could only be filed in Southern? I must have missed it when they stopped allowing cases to be filed in the district of residency (for college students that is their permanent residence). And for all those that posted the student was a plant from the some conservative think tank, must not think that they chose a student from a district where they would face the easiest pathway. I didnt QC the judge in Marshall, but my point still stands, that this would have already been determined if the student was a plant.

Autocorrected. Garrett should be Garcetti.

When Garrett gets overturned you may be right. Until then, the highest court in the land says you are wrong. The Court ruled that statements made by public employees pursuant to their official duties may be disciplined by their employer.

Biden issued an EO mandating federal employees get a vaccine, whether the individual agreed with it or not. The consequence of not getting a vaccine was being fired. Instead of coming on surly to complain they took their arguments to court and won and were reinstated. Politically, they did so in elections as well. I don’t know what is hilarious about that, but conservatives have to live by the rules too. It wasn’t easy or painless to stand up for what they believe in, but they followed the rules and did. Foosters, you can do it too. Simply partner up with some likeminded folks or go alone, file a lawsuit, and get this changed.

The EO says any institution accepting money from Federal government/State government has to follow the content of the EO. Texas A&M falls into this. This professor challenged this by pushing her view about genders. There is a consequence to that. If you think the employees of Texas A&M don't have to follow the EO, simply file a lawsuit in state or federal court and make the same arguments you are making here on Surly. Posting them here isn't going to get you what you want. The last President created the DEI EO and our society didn't agree with it. Specifically, the majority of Texas and Americans didn't accept it. As someone pointed out earlier things like genders are determined by society. Society (US and Texas) had a vote and this is what was decided. The professor doesn't have to agree with it. They can teach where their views/beliefs are aligned.

Our society had an election. As a result, at Texas A&M, there are only 2 genders. Period. It’s a fact.

Great point!

This is an iron site basic shot. A basic marksman wouldn’t even need a scope for this shot.

Do you always plagiarize Cynthia Griffin Wolff or is this a new thing?

The band and football team at my school refused to sing/play the schools song because they claimed it was racist. We don’t want their fee fees to get hurt. (Am I doing this right?). It’s crazy.

You are clearly well versed in all of this. Please educate us how an at-will state works for employment?
