It’s striking to see the number of professors and administrators who still insist on defying President Trump’s executive order against inserting gender identity into the classroom. In the case of Texas A&M, however, one student chose to call out a professor who insisted on flouting the order. Welsh also removed two administrators from their duties because they ‘approved plans to continue teaching course content that was not consistent’ with the course’s description, he said. In the wake of the controversy, Welsh stepped down from his position and left the university. The second point to consider is that a student was prepared to challenge a professor, even though the professor insisted she was not breaking the law—technically she wasn’t because an EO is not law—this is encouraging.
