A student challenged Dr. McCoul, saying, “I’m not entirely sure this is legal to be teaching because, according to our president, there’s only two genders.”
Good lord, is this the level of civics proficiency that Texas A&M students possess?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not just the students, but clearly the university itself. I just hope more people use these incidents to inform their decisions about where to go to school. Once you let personal opinions and religion get in the way of the pursuit of knowledge, then you might as well not bother being a school anymore.
At least explain the reasoning. Geeze.
Reasoning: "Texas don't like no women and don't like no queers!"
"Only steers and queers come out of Texas" is a saying.
As in they run all the queers out of the state.
Don't know man, grinder keeps failing when these manly men are together. I think the state is just pure queers in hiding then.
No, no, it's okay, it's for a "good cause."
That being, of course, 'cause they don't like women and queers
Remember: these are free speech absolutists.
“You are absolutely free to engage in any pre-approved, state-sanctioned speech.”
People like James Hallmark need to be as scared as judges that rule against Trump.
How about we fire that fat fuck out a cannon? When revolution comes people like them just be put up against the wall.
For the rest of the country/world, when you read of someone's education realize that if it is from Texas, it isn't real. Move on to next candidate from somewhere that has an education system not a religious indoctrination system.

What an ignorant take. You sound like someone who definitely understands higher education and the workings of modern universities. Fortunately most of Texas isn't as ignorant as you, tough i admit you could give some people in specific universities a run for their money. Luckily you have no influence anywhere and the worlds is better off for it.
tl;dr you are trash.
Sounds like they hit a nerve...
Nothing says you don't care like never changing your mind. This guy can't stand his existence and will try to bring his hate to everyone. Look how pathetic he looks.
