September 19Sep 19 Author First link behind paywall… Poor aggy… Texas A&M University President Mark Welsh Resigns/ quote: Texas A&M University President Mark A. Welsh III will step down on Friday after more than a week of turmoil sparked by a viral video of a student confronting a professor over gender content in a children’s literature course, the Texas A&M University System announced Thursday. The video, along with an audio recording of Welsh initially refusing to fire Professor Melissa McCoul, first circulated online on Sept. 8 after state Rep. Brian Harrison, R-Midlothian, shared it on the social media platform X. Welsh fired McCoul a day later, but the move did not satisfy Harrison, or Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who did not think Welsh handled the situation properly. “His ambivalence on the issue and his dismissal of the student’s concerns by immediately taking the side of the professor is unacceptable,” Patrick posted on X last week. “Most parents, students, and Aggie alumni expect Texas A&M to reflect the values of our state and our nation as well as A&M’s rich history. If President Welsh will not or cannot reflect those values, then change needs to happen.” Edited September 19Sep 19 by Grimas

If President Welsh will not or cannot reflect those values, then change needs to happen.” Dan Patrick is from Maryland. And got his degree from the University of Maryland at Baltimore. And he's lecturing aggy about the values of "our state" and a&m.
September 19Sep 19 Popular Post That's really some sick shit. That fat lesbian lieutenant governor basically saying he didn't unflinchingly pass the loyalty test. Apologies for the slander of fat lesbians everywhere.

September 19Sep 19 Just now, immamac said: We are living through a historically shitty time. On the one hand, I love it because it is amusing that they of all people are going so hard after A&M, after all of the bullshit UT has had to suffer through. But I also love it because I think it will force many alumni to rethink some things in terms of who they support. I've already seen one friend bitching on FB that Patrick is a carpet bagger and needs to shut up about trying to force aggie officials out and he was tagging his aggie friends. All those aggie alumni who stayed quiet while they fucked with UT are now finding out that their beloved school is not immune to the bullshit. And while I'm sure that more than a few aggie may agree privately with Patrick and Abbott, they sure as fuck don't want a Longhorn and a University of Maryland grad (and Baylor grad - Paxton) fucking with their institution.

September 19Sep 19 Quick check of the Texags politics board and 99% wanted him out for being too woke. They are all celebrating.
September 19Sep 19 Since late November 2023, Texas A&M has had to hire a new university system chancellor, athletics director, football coach, men’s basketball coach, baseball coach and now two presidents. lot of pay outs, burning money
September 19Sep 19 lulz complete embarrassment .... Including the interim president between Young and Banks, whomever AM hire's will be the fifth Texas A&M President since 2020.
September 19Sep 19 Popular Post Just another example to toss on the fire of the destruction of higher education in the US by fundamentalist nut jobs. The entire US boom starting in the 1950s to becoming the biggest economy in the world would not have been possible without the building of the greatest university system in the world. Which started with a raid of German scientists after WW2 and continued with importing the best minds from around the world on a yearly basis. Now that it is being destroyed it means the US advantage in research and development is gone and will never be back. Better enjoy the military tech superiority now because it will be eclipsed by China before too long.
September 19Sep 19 I hope they let Trev run it because he'll find away to do something to piss everyone off further, along with being financially irresponsible.

September 19Sep 19 this guy sounds very qualified ... Texas A&M forced out president Mark Welsh, a distinguished four-star Air Force general with eight decades of family connection to the university, for being too "woke." Good luck with that.

Counterpoint: it ain't about them, they don't know what's good for 'em. We need only regime-approved instruction, teaching only regime-approved lessons, which will lead to greatness for the Volk and the Fatherland!

September 19Sep 19 This happening at A&M isn’t good for anyone in the state of Texas. It’s yet another demonstration that right wing nut jobs are in control of the state. And that means the State is no longer a welcoming place for LBGTQ, foreigners, minorities, and others who helped make Texas a great place. The talent is leaving. The talent is deciding to not come here. Brain talent, trade talent, and eventually it will include sports talent. The success of the United States was built on the backs of people of all types. When you shut them out you shut out success. Did any of you right wing nut jobs realize that a gay ex-Prussian officer was responsible for training the American revolutionary army to beat the British. He was one of the most important figures in the history of the United States in terms of making the American military competent. Edited September 20Sep 20 by Dbeasy
