The immediate subject is the shocking news that Texas A&M University has instructed a professor not to teach Plato due to the institution’s concerns about gender-related rules. This situation, as documented by Dr. Peterson, is, to put it mildly, an eyebrow-raiser. The response from the university appears to be a form of censorship, dictating the curriculum and limiting academic freedom.
