Comment about Restrictive Rules on Teaching Gender and Race [Wayne A. Wiegand]

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?”
