When an ancient philosopher predating the birth of Jesus is too “woke” for your institution of higher learning, I have to question the educational value of said institution.

You know you're winning in the "marketplace of ideas" when you have to literally ban the discussion, even the mere mention, of anything you oppose. Solid victory guys. Texas degrees aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

And here we are

Fuckin football team with a side hustle.

A diploma from Texas A&M is worth less than the paper it's printed on.

Cave wins again

Conservatives want to converse the stupidity they had at birth.

So they’re banning Plato, but is Socrates still OK?

:D

"The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government is to live under the government of worse men."

– Plato, Republic book 1 (translated) circa 375 BCE.

From the article:

The regents used AI analysis software to audit syllabi for unapproved content. Thanks to this rude mech, 200 courses have been cancelled, stripped of core curricular credit value, or forced into revision.

Gotta love how AI is calling the shots in so many sectors these days. It makes for the perfect scapegoat. "Well the AI said so" is not a valid response in my mind, but those in charge clearly disagree. I've also read of situations where an AI will be 'in charge' but there will be a human on site to help out (or likely more accurately--take the fall when the AI fucks up)

Another day at Y'all Qaeda Texas or Oblast of Texas.
