    “I am not going to participate in this because it’s not legal, and I don’t want to promote something that is against our president’s laws, as well as against my own religious beliefs”

    The kids are not alright

      Having one douchebag student out of a whole classroom is nothing new. The douchebag being indulged by the powers that be is. The problem isn’t the kids, it’s the old fucks in charge.

            Yeah, professors should pay for rent and groceries with their love of teaching, that’ll work /s

              Yeah, because professors are the ones raking in millions of dollars per year and driving up the cost of college so high. 🙄

                How does threatening to pull state funding over culture war bullshit have anything to do with keeping costs down?

              The professors are not the ones getting paid the most. Not by a long shot

                My salary was not covering the cost of living and raising a family. Bailed on the US ed system for greener pastures.

        The problem isn’t the kids, it’s the old fucks in charge.

        A brief visit to College Station will fiercely dispel that notion. Most aggies regardless of age are in favor of this.

      What’s sad is that while these students are technically adults, they are being coddled like little babies.

      If you cannot come into contact with something that conflicts with your beliefs during college, you are a thin-skinned little snowflake and need to get the fuck over it.

      That’s what college is for, FFS. It’s not just supposed to be a trade school that is there to reinforce the beliefs and preconceptions of every student. If you come out of school believing the exact same things as when you went in, well, then, that can be considered a failed education.

      I wouldn’t trust a school that thinks the executive branch makes the laws anyway.

    Not enrolling to that school after being admitted, visiting, and seeing it’s one big republican cult was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Another was getting out of Texas.

    I had a hard time understanding the Gender Unicorn graphic until I looked up the inspiration it cites—the Genderbread Person—and realized the things on the right were supposed to correspond to icons on the left, which apparently aren’t just fire tattoos the unicorn has and are supposed to be labels. That’s… not very clear.

      Apparently through executive order which Trump has been using like royal edicts.

      Unfortunately they aren’t laws. Most of them aren’t even legal and don’t have to be followed at all. Most just roll over and do it anyway for reasons I don’t understand.
