In 2021, the faculty senate at the University of Texas at Austin arrogantly stated that they were not accountable to the Texas Legislature or UT Board of Regents. They passed a resolution stating they were going to teach Critical Race Theory to UT students no matter what the legislature or taxpayers thought. I replied at the time: “I will not stand by and let looney Marxist UT professors poison the minds of young students with Critical Race Theory. We banned it in publicly funded K-12 and we would ban it in publicly funded higher ed.” Tonight, with final passage of Senate Bill 37, the faculty senate at the University of Texas at Austin had their power stripped and found out the Legislature does have authority over faculty senates after all! Here’s an idea for them to consider: these looney Marxist UT professors should find a friendly blue state to move to so we can fill their roles with quality conservative professors who will teach critical thinking. Yippie Ki Yay! Adios! Sayonara! Auf Wiedersehen! Au Revoir! In every language you can possibly think of: Goodbye! #txlege

Gotta love sloppy research by @TPPF’s Sherry Sylvester who repeats the wrong claim that there’s 400 classes on gender and 200 on race at @UTAustin. She didn’t even bother to account for cross lists. Numbers are not near that. With “expert” testimony like this, @SenCreighton…

@UTAustin students and faculty walked out of commencement during Jay Hartzell’s final speech. We got a little bit lost in the crowd but we did walk out for Gaza. Then got viciously heckled by Zionists and then had an invigorating rally. I love my students so much. #FreePalestine

Calling cops on our community is the exact wrong way to promote safety…
.@UTAustin is a community, and our foremost responsibility has always been to keep that community safe. Read more about how we protect free speech and maintain a safe and conductive learning environment: utex.as/3UskUsJ
