Professors Sue Texas A&M System over Limits on Teaching Race, Gender
The professors say the policy has canceled classes and forced syllabus changes, while the university system says it is ensuring course content matches approved instruction.
- On Monday, the American Association of University Professors filed a federal lawsuit against the Texas A&M University System, challenging restrictions on teaching about race, gender, and sexual orientation that plaintiffs allege violate First Amendment rights.
- Texas A&M regents enacted the policy following a viral video and political pressure, barring professors from "advocating" race or gender ideology and requiring presidential approval to address these subjects in core courses.
- Citing removal of Plato's "Symposium" and the film "Moonlight" from syllabi, the lawsuit argues vague rules grant administrators sweeping discretion to censor academic content without clear standards.
- This legal action follows similar litigation against the Texas Tech University System, reflecting broader state-imposed academic restrictions stemming from legislation like Senate Bill 37 that empowers boards to review course materials.
