Texas A&M is so backwards that they banned Plato for being too gay and woke. Reactionaries simply want to indoctrinate people into their bigoted disinformation. Funny that I used this specific example about heteronormativity 6 years ago: youtu.be/lbBl46Rb3LM

Red Scares and anti-communist demagogues have driven our political history into some dark places for well over a century. We're headed for even worse if we fail learn how redbaiting works through a larger context. Here's my longest ever episode explaining that history: youtu.be/5fYbXCAQORE

This is a very concrete example of how academic freedom is under assault in order to oppose the rights, or even mere recognition, of trans people. If you're able, I'd appreciate signing - it's a small act, but the more signatures, the more likely the petition will result in a meaningful response.

Be wary of anyone claiming to teach or discuss history without bias. History is, and always has been, an exercise in interpretation. Treating it like an exact science is, at best, ignorant—and at worst, outright deceitful.
