As an Aggie, I am embarrassed by the reality that A&M has chugged down the DEI kool-aid. I am also the parent of two medical students (now graduated), and was shocked by the degree to which medical education is now dominated by DEI adherents.
Two institutions that most people assume to be basically conservative (Texas A&M and medical school) have been completely taken over and subverted by progressive academia. I think in the past, the local universities tended to hire their own alumni to teach, but began to bring in “prestigious” outside hires back in the 70’s. At this point A&M is not recognizable as any different from other state schools known for their liberal politics, such as UW Madison, UVa, UNC, Cal Berkely. A lot of conservatives donate a ton of money to A&M, not to mention taxpayer support from Republican taxpayers. A&M needs a serious re-set.
I hate to hear that about Texas A&M. I’ve told many folks that the Aggies at football games present a culture of loving America and the military.
