Thanks, Dr. Wiegand, for sending his Facebook comment about recent events at universities to the blog:
“Article in this morning’s NYT about Texas A&M establishing rules re:teaching about gender and race ideologies gave me pause. For a course in American library history, if I assigned my latest book–which taps CRT to demonstrate that the nation’s library profession entirely ignored the subject of segregated public school libraries 1954-1974–would I be called into the Provost’s office at Texas A&M, or Kentucky, Wisconsin, or Florida State (institutions at which I taught 1976-2010) for attempts to “indoctrinate” my students?”
I teach Library History in one of these states. I have your books and articles on my syllabus. They always generate discussion and reflection. So far have had no oversight.
