Two officials at Texas A&M University have been removed from their posts, and a Justice Department investigation has been launched after a viral video showed a professor telling a student she was free to leave a “children’s literature” class when she objected to a lesson on gender identity.
Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison, a Republican and Texas A&M alumnus, shared multiple clips from undercover recordings on Sept. 8. In one video, the student questioned whether the lesson was legal, citing President Donald Trump’s directive “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to The Federal Government,” which recognizes two sexes—male and female. The disputed lesson included teaching that there are more than two genders.
