A Brave Prof Fights the Woke Faculty at University of Texas

According to a large majority of the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin, professors have the “fundamental right” to teach critical race theory in their classes if they want to.

I’m old enough to remember the days when faculty members were expected to teach bodies of knowledge — their subjects — not wild theorizing. If we can get back to that, it will go a long ways toward curing the nation of its current sickness.
