Texas Tech Joins A&M in Restricting Race, LGBTQ+ Course Content, Sparking Controversy
Texas Tech University has implemented new restrictions on classroom instruction concerning race, gender, and sexual orientation, mirroring recent actions at Texas A&M. The policy, initiated by Chancellor Brandon Creighton, prohibits teaching six race- and sex-related concepts and mandates board review of LGBTQ+-related course content. These restrictions were preceded by Senate Bill 37, which directs boards of regents to review course content. These changes follow a controversy at Texas A&M that led to administrative demotions, a firing, and a resignation due to content deemed inconsistent with school guidelines.
