Here’s What Texas Tech’s Leadership Is Being Sued For Censoring
Is Plato’s Republic too gay? This is one of many brave questions posed by the Texas Tech University System’s chancellor and Board of Regents as they implement an “extraordinary system of censorship in higher education,” according to a new lawsuit filed Wednesday in Texas federal court by faculty unions. The American Association of University Professors and the Texas AAUP-AFT said that Texas Tech is violating the first and fourteenth amendments by way of sweeping new restrictions on academic freedom. The Texas Tech University System collectively serves about 64,000 students, and is one of only nine in the country offering programs that span undergraduate, medical, law, nursing, pharmacy, dental, and veterinary education. That’s a lot of curricula to rid of content that promotes activism on issues related to race or sex, endorsement of a gender spectrum, and suggestions that meritocracy or a strong work ethic are inherently racist! Thankfully, university system Chancellor Brandon Creighton said Texas Tech built an AI tool to scan syllabi, reading materials, and lesson plans for censor-worthy material.
