“Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students “for being homosexual or transgender.” They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for “cross-dressing,” by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts.”
Two. Two professors. Two are suing for their right to be shitheads. This needs to be clarified. It’s not a class action lawsuit or anything. The vast majority of profs I had at UT-Austin, if they are still teaching there, were almost certainly protesting Palestinian occupation along with the students.
(This being said and Texas being what it is, I am surprised it isn’t more than two. I can’t leave this state fast enough.)
I’m sure our current SCOTUS, which said that the right to bodily autonomy doesn’t exist because it wasn’t enumerated even though the Constitution clearly says not all rights are, will have no problem using the exact same reasoning to slap these two Texassholes down, right?
Right?
Even before the overturn of roe v wade the right to bodily autonomy, as you’re using the term, did not exist, as even roe v wade concluded that the state might have a compelling interest to restrict abortion in some cases. And most states had some kind of restriction in place.
And when the scotus overturned it, they didn’t remove the right to bodily autonomy, but the implicit right to privacy.
Texas: the incel state
Right!?! Doesn’t this smack of simple jealousy that the professors can’t have as much fun as their students? Their lives must be so empty, which explains why others living their best lives, with lovers, friends, and community is so offensive.
Another great reason why we need good, anonymous currency and more privacy in society. Everything’s all fine and dandy till your bank or google maps rats you out.
So… cash?
i wish someone would punish me for consexual sexual intercourse.
Religious extremists always use the “slippery slope” argument against progress, because that’s what they want.
If anyone ever tells you they have to do something because their religious texts says so, you need to immediately look at the craziest shit that’s in there.
Because either they’re lying about their reason for doing the first thing, or they’re working their way up to the craziest shit.
And regardless of what religion it is, there’s going to be some absolutely horrible shit in there.

I know a lot of people that will cite Leviticus to explain how homosexuality is bad, yet none of them like to talk about the parts of Leviticus that condone and regulate who you should enslave and how you should treat your slaves. 🤔
Or not cutting the hair around your temples, or wearing clothing with mixed fabric or, I dunno, eating shrimp.
If the students disobey and miss class for abortion care, the filing continues, the professors should be allowed to flunk students.
…and…
The two men argue that granting students an excused absence in such cases violates their First Amendment rights.
And one of these guys is a philosophy professor.
There are plenty of philosophy professors who are morons.
Half of all philosophy professors graduated in the bottom 50% of their class. Pretty shocking.
Source?
That would only make sense if all graduates become professors
they were making a joke, not a grant application
