Hello, readers.
I want to bring attention to the ongoing discussions around education reform.
Let’s dive into it…
they continue to explain themselves
You might be surprised at how simple it can be to break down leftist ideologies in educational contexts. The challenge? Finding someone willing to take that leap, enduring the inevitable backlash that will follow.
Brandon Clayton made a significant change at Texas Tech University’s system.
All you need is the following flowchart.
Creighton, a Texas legislator, took initiative to—how should I phrase it—“eliminate the woke curriculum.” He aimed to reduce the influence of academic tenure, faculty leadership, and diversity initiatives.
We all recognize the role of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) systems as a political force within academia, often enforcing specific ideological agendas across various domains, including recruitment and curriculum. It’s something to keep in mind.
In late 2025, Texas Tech’s regents appointed Creighton as chancellor, and he seems to have gotten started on this flowchart.
To simplify further: if course materials aren’t absolutely essential, rethink their inclusion. If uncertain, perhaps consider consulting someone with more experience first?
Mr. Creighton’s memo advised faculty to avoid teaching what he termed “Weird Race and Gender Nonsense,” unless that’s literally the course title.
He’s also placed restrictions on professors advocating prejudice based on immutable traits, claiming certain characteristics don’t automatically define someone as racist or bigoted, and limiting ideas that promote shared racial guilt.
Clayton mentioned how these extreme views led to a sort of takeover on campus, rendering degrees less valuable.
He pointed out that Texans, who contribute millions to these institutions, are dissatisfied with what they see as the results.
You might think graduates would emerge with degrees in niche areas like gender poetry, but the reality is they often leave with debt and little chance to engage productively in the job market. They become indoctrinated advocates without substantial skills, often fixating on issues concerning race, economics, and gender identity.
To be fair, recognizing these problems isn’t just Clayton’s territory—many can see it clearly.
Andrew J. Siefker, a math instructor at Texas Tech, described the flowchart as straightforward and logical.
However, perspectives can differ significantly, as seen with art educators reacting differently.
“This is tragic,” said Andrew Martin. “History demonstrates the outcomes of when authoritarian regimes take hold of educational systems.”
I ponder, why do they always feel the need to justify their actions?
The recent changes in U.S. universities could be compared to a different version of past authoritarian movements, fully supported by various political entities and corporations. Employees are often pressured to endorse concepts of “diversity and inclusion,” and dissent could lead to losing one’s job, creating an overwhelming pressure.
It sometimes seems this has empowered those who are merely adept at dismantling rather than building. For them, tools become mere symbols instead of items with clear purposes.
Until brave figures like Clayton step in and draw a line.
Good for him. Address the issues at Texas Tech University.
There’s hope that this change could ripple across the country.
