Literary Hub » Texas A&M is banning Plato, citing his “gender ideology.”

TLDR

Texas A&M University has banned several canonized texts, including Plato's 'Symposium', due to a new policy restricting classroom discussions of race and gender. The policy, approved by the university's regents, requires the president's approval of every syllabus to remove 'problematic' content, which includes gender ideology and race ideology. The policy has led to the cancellation of 200 courses and the reassignment of a philosophy professor who was teaching modules on race and gender ideology.
