“About 25% of the professors in Texas who responded said they have applied for teaching roles in other states in the last two years, with another 25% saying they intend to start a search.”

Sounds a lot like self-deporting Mexicans. The Mexicans and the Professors both know the jig is up and they better get out of Dodge while the getting is good.

Will ANYBODY miss those useless, deadweight “Professors”?

“Who Will Train Tomorrow’s Theater Critics?”

LOL...maybe the budding theater critics can lean to pick cauliflower. Sounds like win-win for the USA.

[EnderWiggin1970]

What can we do to drive this number higher?

Many professors in the US south, particularly in Florida, South Carolina and Texas, are considering leaving their state because of the impact the political climate is having on education, according to a new survey by the American Association of Professors.

><

Most of these “professors” are not needed anyway. STEM professors will never miss a beat!

[Mouton]

And don’t let the door hit you all, bye.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

This is good news.

[LouAvul]

Liberal teachers leaving America? And, that’s bad, why?

[catnipman]

Manchester Guardian = ROTFLOL!

[Republican Wildcat]

Could actual education really start to be taught at these places again? Real stuff useful to increase useful knowledge and skills for employment and being informed citizens - not indoctrination and garbage like “gender studies”, “queer theory”, “pornography studies”, etc.

i can just see a new book coming out: “Fear and Loathing in Florida, South Carolina and Texas” ...

[lonestar67]

As a professor in the South I would urge please do.

[peggybac]

Please don’t come to the Midwest. The south is beautiful and we suck here.

[aquila48]

BYE!

[Toughluck_freeper]

Teaching environmental humanities? Good riddance!

[HIDEK6]

Well bye!

[frank ballenger]

The leftist woke types saw their futures in the bowl of grits at breakfast. Did not look hopeful. 🥣

Sort of like reading tea leaves.

The question is not, “How can we teach students how to properly read, write and cipher.”

We know how to do that.

The question is “Why do we not teach students how to properly read, write and cipher.”

[vpintheak]

Beat it, freaks! You’re a bunch of commie dbags anyway, we don’t want you!

[Bullish]

Yeah, you guys probably should hit the road now. Because after what you’ve all done to us you may not be safe around here down the road. Consequences are like that, you know? You may want to seek a place that has no extradition treaty with the US too.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Baloney. Most of these professors are from New York, probably Jewish.
They most certainly are not from the South.
