The university celebrated its decision to hire Kathleen McElroy to revive its journalism program. She says she’s staying at UT after she felt judged because of her race and gender.

    Wow.

    As a former Texan; this really doesn’t surprise me. It’s why I got out of Texas.

    It does also confirm something I have long feared has settled into conservative viewpoints…a hysteria so vast that it would engender and encourage the unchecked growth of facism.

    I implore anyone reading this who is of voting age in the USA right now and is able to vote legally…to vote Democrat.

    I’m not saying the Dems are without problems; but they at least don’t seem to be focused on becoming facist.

      Well, at least the president of Texas A&M has been forced to resign over it. I guess that’s a silver lining?
