Yet homosexuality and transsexualism is not a mental health issue?

Leftists are dangerous. Outright dangerous.

Very good point, clearly a double standard.

UT-Austin Faculty meeting:

I have a feeling Trump voters won't be there. So, the ones who do show up were already lost.

A world of change since I attended UT in 1966.

On campus LBJ was almost universally hated....

Any guy who enrolls in that class is probably dating another guy anyway. They probably consider this home ec lol.

You can get the impression that this is a cultural phenomenon, that Americans are turning against masculinity. But it's actually a proportionally tiny number of leftists and "gender warriors" who have worked their way into positions of power in American colleges and universities.

I don't mean to dismiss the whole thing at all. They send out messages to boys who are impressionable, who are trying to figure out life and questions about their own identity, and the messages these young men receive are poisonous. "There is something seriously wrong with you because you are male."

In another era, the people who perpetrate this kind of thing would have been the leaders of racist organizations-- say, the KKK in the 19th C. It's the same kind of thinking-- condemning a group, or a class, and every member of it. Sick, twisted thinking.

I’m not sure I agree with that. I was there in those years. There was always that relatively small contingent of SDS type doper dirtball hippies, but hardly universal.

There were a significant number of Goldwater supporters.

Of course, LBJ always had a strong effect on people, either loved or hated, around the hill country, having nothing to do necessarily with liberal or conservative. Many saw him as the savior of the hill country for among other things the electrification project he and his cronies promoted. Some considered him a despicable untrustworthy weasel.

Yes it is, time for your re-education please report to camp building #7.

It might be time to treat universities as asylums....

Make all the campus police and security female , see how that works out.

A little OT, but for JALLEN or EasyFire were either of you around when Charles Whitman did his deed?

I wonder, will this policy be applied to the butch lesbians on campus as well?

Empowering women and belittling men. As if there's not enough of that already without making it a required core course for graduation. Next up they'll be offering more of the same in a graduate program; Doctorate of Limpwristed Douchebagness. What WILL they think up next...

Richard Simmons would be great for that job.

I bet it will be a female with a hyphenated last name.

Indeed it is, as are a couple other areas on border and large cities. Not what you'd hope from from Texans, but of course few of the people in these areas actually are....

Some years ago in the original Pajama Boy thread a member had, what I think, is the finest response to this whole weirdness and anti-masculine take. I'm sorry I don't remember who it was that posted but my admiration runs deep. I also can't quote him but the spirit of what he said lives;

A paraphrase: Who is this pajama-boy you guys are worried about? I'm out on the prairie and just killed a 300 pound ferral-hog with a crossbow and I'm building a mesquite fire to roast it. I'll have to worry about this tomorrow.

Another reason in a long list of reasons that organized the public education system needs to go away.

JALLEN: Please tell me an Aggie joke.
