A group of Texas A&M University professors filed a lawsuit against the school this week regarding a new censorship policy that places restrictions on how faculty teach race and gender. The suit was filed by the ACLU of Texas on behalf of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and Professors Leonard Bright, Vanita Reddy, Landon Sadler, and Aaron George. (Bright, Reddy, and Sadler teach at Texas A&M, and George teaches at Tarleton State University, part of the Texas A&M University System.) “This policy has impacted my ability to do my job, my students’ ability to learn, and my colleagues’ ability to teach without fear of reprisal. The policy, implemented in November 2025, “bars professors from ‘advocating’ race or gender ideology or topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity.
