  1. 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.....
  2. 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.
  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. Autocorrected. Garrett should be Garcetti.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Our society had an election. As a result, at Texas A&M, there are only 2 genders. Period. It’s a fact.
  10. This is an iron site basic shot. A basic marksman wouldn’t even need a scope for this shot.
  11. Do you always plagiarize Cynthia Griffin Wolff or is this a new thing?
  12. 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.
  13. You are clearly well versed in all of this. Please educate us how an at-will state works for employment?
  14. I see your grandmother must have given you your handle.
  15. Have a spine? balls? You seem to have all of the answers and are so troubled by this (and many issues). Take all of the time and energy from these posts and go file a lawsuit and win some arguments. Otherwise, you are just a spineless, nutless poster like you claim others to be. Go do something.
  16. 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. As you probably picked up in my last response, taking this issue to a federal court in Texas and then on to the 5th circuit (en banc) you know the answer to your question as well.
  17. The elected governor, by the majority of the State, endorsed/adopted and put into effect 100% of the federal EO. Once he does that, it is the states policy. It’s not MY position. It’s how government works. If you believe this is so wrong or does not follow a legal framework, this should be a slam dunk for you to win in court. Get off the internet and go file an argument. Do something about it.
  18. The old, “students who challenge the institution” reasonable argument. Lia Thomas was a college swimmer on the MENS team. Then moved to the women’s team to challenge the institution. Was that reasonable? Seems like the majority didn’t believe so. We now the DEI/Gender/LGBTQI+ policy we are debating here now.
  19. Take that to the Federal court in Amarillo, Tyler or Marshall. I’m not the finder of fact.
  20. You should really take some time to read your proclaimed DEI ban before writing about it.
  21. Not sure if you are serious but here you go: if you aren’t aware, Texas A&M is a state government institution. Governor Greg Abbott today sent a letter to Texas state agency heads directing them to follow state and federal law, including President Donald Trump’s executive order, in rejecting radical sexual orientation and gender identity ideologies. “The State of Texas recognizes only two sexes—male and female—and sex discrimination consists in treating a member of one sex less favorably than the other, absent some pertinent difference,” reads the letter. “Others have sought to distort the guarantee that men and women must be treated equally in order to impose mandates concerning sexual orientation and gender identity. On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, rejecting similar efforts by the Biden-Harris Administration to distort commonsense notions of biological sex. As the Chief Executive Officer of the State, I direct you to follow state and federal law. All Texas agencies must ensure that agency rules, internal policies, employment practices, and other actions comply with the law and the biological reality that there are only two sexes—male and female.”
  22. If a professor is told to teach evolution and not creation, but says fuck it, I’m teaching creation, then the professor is wrong. If they believe in creation, go find a school that allows that to be the content. This school, in this course, says you can only teach 2 genders. Period. That’s it. Nothing more/less. The professor didn’t like/ageee with it. She can teach it and face consequences or she can find an institution that allows her to teach it. The student, by all accounts, tools this through the appropriate channels. She was offered an A in the class. She didn’t want that. She wanted the content taught. The department continued to teach the content contrary to the school approved curriculum and has been fired.
  23. If the end result was firing, why did it not happen back in July before the videos and audio were released? The Dean and Professor only were fired this week after the release?
