Now I question the legitimatacy of those lists

---

I haven't bothered to look at that list in decades. Once I figured out that there was no money in recycling the same list repeatedly and that they just added new places to keep it fresh and sell more ads, I lost interest.

They're upset not only that many Aggies, current and past, reject such ideology, but more so that some had the gumption to do something about it

Amen!!! Growing tired of riots, illegals, trans, queers, walkouts? That's the plan, and these folks write like they speak for everyone. Sway us to give up! Join 'em!! Never ending attacks , which if there is no push back, will get even more intense.
And they prey upon the young gullibles. College and high school kids.
I got this in Bible study this morning about walk with God, and can be adapted for our American way of life, something we all need to tell our kids: " Life is a battleground, not a playground".
Rush used to say, "if liberals lose an election, they are back to work the next morning.". It's always going to be a battle.

Something about the right pigs squealing……

I remember seeing the klan hood cover copy at a doctor's office or whatever. Got nothing but an eyeroll out of me. I'm not sure that TM has had anything worth reading in the entire existence. BBQ reviews included

---

I liked Kinky Friedman's articles, but he is deceased and I do not believe any Texans need a BBQ review. I agree with an earlier post that TM is not good for anything but a bird cage liner.

Texas Monthly is absolute garbage. I subscribed for a year because I love the articles on food, travel, and Texas history, but there's so much politics injected into each edition I just couldn't do it anymore.

Isn't Texas Monthly now owned by the daughter of David Duncan, who founded Enterprise Products?

If so, I would think she would be very conservative.

TM at it again. This time with a many thousands word long emotive dump mad because tamu admin and alums and texan politicians are being so hard on leftist cultural issues.

Its basically a batt article, gussied up with Texas monthly's degrading clout, thats angry many/most of the alumni reject trans ideology, drag shows and other leftist cause and have the gall to do something about it when it impacts our school.

That's really the entire gist of the article.

Every semester, lopez said, he receives, in like the tide, a wave of students who come from radically different backgrounds and contexts. As a professor of media production, lopez can't teach them how to build a bridge or operate a nuclear reactor, like some of his colleagues can. What he can try to point his students to is their "shared humanity," to remind them that "all of us have felt less than." Being an underdogas many Aggies arecan be a source of power and pride. "My job is to empower," he told me, to help students along the "radical trajectory" of learning to understand themselves and one another. He stressed to me over and over that his aim isn't to change his students' politics but to make their worlds bigger.

---

Or, good sir, you could just teach media production, leaving all the woke bull**** outside the door. But what do I know? The author undermines his own article so often in this article its crazy.

Also learned via this article that "diversity is our strength" is why rudder went up pointe du hoc

---

In other words, blah,blah, blah. Having to take a "Lopez", in a worthless class, to me would sound like a classroom episode of Charlie Brown listening to his teacher talk.

That pos rag has been taking shots at A&M for decades. Zero integrity.

TM won't be happy till every university in Tx is teaching nonsense and financially crippling young people while doing it.

yes, allow them to teach only the ideas that the government allows.

Yes, let faculty do whatever they want even if it has nothing to do with what the students actually need to learn for their degree at a public university.

There are plenty of self-help seminars, programs, and therapists out there that do this. This should not be in the purview of higher education. At least not at Texas A&M. A&M should focus on STEMB and let other schools teach liberal arts.

Stay within the bubble or you will be silenced. Probably need to revise applications and make sure they have "the right" ideals before admitting them. Most 18 year olds cannot think for themselveswe must control everything that is taught to protect them! Aggieland is not conservative enough…..

If you are looking for bubbles on campus, you are in the wrong place. Try the schools on both coasts and just about every private liberal arts college. Those are the bubbles.

The irony of your statement is several of those teaching the curriculum have that very mindset but not from the perspective that you think.

Sad truth: Many of the children or grand children of great innovators often become guilt tripped into socialism due too the desire to "fit in" or guilt because they never had to struggle. There are many examples. Disney, Waltons, etx, etc

Frankly I always wanted to cut income taxes to zero and up the inheritance taxes to break the cycle of generational quilt tripped libtards. After all we still need F-35's

You want to make it big, do it yourself and let the talented entrepreneurs and innovators do what they do best and be rewarded for it. Spoiled brats dont deserve a huge break.

And yes My kids had to go earn it and always knew they would. Expectations managed.

Can't tell if this is a shot at conservatives or not.....but you should research what subjects personal statements were written on about 2007-2024. The entire goal was basically the highest level of grievance

I guess you are right. The daughter does own TM and has since 2019.

Be more specific. Which of the TWO restrictions on academic freedom in the policy do you oppose? The one that says professors can't teach racial guilt or the one where they can't teach that Homo sapiens can change their sex? Sorry it came to this but academia betrayed our trust.

And they left out a very important fact - Welsh lied to his bosses. That gets most people fired.

I love how these kind of stories about tamu always focus on some whiny, overweight, leftist student who just doesn't feel at home at A&M. Guess what, there are hundreds of leftist commie universities you can take your pierced nose to and have a great time and feel right at home as a gender studies major. Article doesn't even mention how popular tamu is now and how hard it is to get into.

Not a word about Michael Young and the disgraceful way he and the commie agitators tried to slander the university.

No mention of the fact that Welsh got caught in a bald faced lie when he denied prior knowledge of the leftist political points being pushed in the children's literature class.

No acknowledgment whatsoever that there ARE, in fact, staff members and students who are very actively trying to embed their leftist agenda into any part of the school that they can, rather than simply being earnest folks pursuing higher education in its purest form.

This reads like it was written by a high school sophomore.

AND he still owes the fine folks of F16 the reward money for solving The Case of the Fake Racist.

Remember, our Regents hired him.
It not rocket science to select a President.

"Reagan Republican" defends neo-Marxists brainwashing.

This kind of stuff (TM hit pieces) just doesn't have the impact on perception that it used to. Too many other easy to access places for alternate opinions . Mags going the way of the local newspaper and for the same reasons.

Having said that , imo Ags need to own being a conservative alternative to …. Just about every other college . Not that I would want to squash alternative opinions about some things at A & M but some of the woke stuff is so out there it's laughable.
