A vice chancellor upheld the firing of Melissa McCoul, seen in a viral video being confronted by a student on her gender identity teachings, saying the termination was done with “good cause.”
Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired in the fall after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.
The New York Times first reported Wednesday that interim Texas A&M president Tommy Williams deferred the decision to the university system, and that James Hallmark, the system’s vice chancellor for academic affairs, wrote in a Dec. 19 memo that Melissa McCoul’s termination in September was supported by “good cause.” He did not explain his reasoning.
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.
Remember: these are free speech absolutists.
“You are absolutely free to engage in any pre-approved, state-sanctioned speech.”
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?
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.
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…
You don’t need to explain, we know it is by belief.
At least explain the reasoning. Geeze.
Reasoning: “Texas don’t like no women and don’t like no queers!”
No, no, it’s okay, it’s for a “good cause.”
That being, of course, 'cause they don’t like women and 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.
I heard that when R Lee Ermey shouted it in Full Metal Jacket
How about we fire that fat fuck out a cannon? When revolution comes people like them just be put up against the wall.
People like James Hallmark need to be as scared as judges that rule against Trump.
