After years of Marxist professors spewing their propaganda at captive students who needed the class for graduation, the pendulum is slowly swinging to the Right.

Professors at the University of Houston (UH) have been put on notice that bias-free academics is in and left-wing ideology is out. Many are still riled over being required to sign a pledge to leave propaganda out of their courses. With the latest UH requirement to self-censor their courses, left-wing professors are digging in. Maric C. Gonzales, UH associate English professor, fumes, “The whole thing is draconian and ridiculous and out of control — and it’s really galvanized all of my colleagues.”

Is this a veiled threat for a walkout? Why are they so opposed to ensuring their courses fulfill the primary purpose for education — to instill knowledge in the next generation? For years the Left has been forcing conservative professors to accept their socialist ideology or be forced out of academia while they have free rein to determine what students are forced to think while enjoying upward career mobility.
UH professor Holley Carole Love actually admitted thatprofessors indoctrinateunder the guise of critical thinking, “Discussing difficult topics is how we teach students to think critically, to form and support their own arguments, and to engage in thoughtful and respectful debate.”
Texas lawprevents the core curriculum of universities from endorsing “specific public policies, ideologies, or legislation.” Schools must ensure that their core curriculum is “foundational and fundamental” and is “necessary to prepare students for civic and professional life” and “equip students for participation in the workforce and in the betterment of society.” School systems now are forced by Texas law to remove all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) departments and initiatives as well.
Threatening defiance of state law, Gonzales said, “There’s no way I’m going to do a self-evaluation checklist to claim my innocence for accusation that don’t exist.”
Will these liberal professors actually exit our universities if they are forced to follow Texas law? We can only hope. I still believe in miracles.
