According to a report by Emily Medeiros of Texas Scorecard, a former student at Texas A&M University uncovered a reading assignment for a mandatory course that indoctrinates engineering students to use non-gendered language as part of a broader effort to get students to use gender neutral language.
As part of their curriculum, engineering students are mandated to take a technical writing course. In one of the course’s readings in question, “Howdy or Hello? Technical and Professional Communication,” a chapter instructed students on how to properly use pronouns in business email correspondence.
“If you do not know the recipient personally, never use titles such as Mrs., Ms., or Mr. as you cannot assume gender, marital status, or profession,” the chapter stated. “If the gender of a person and/or their personal pronoun use are not known, use their entire name like this: “Dear Sam Jones.”
Further, the chapter teaches students to use “gender identifying pronouns” when closing out their email messages.
“Depending on your audience, consider including your gender identifying pronouns (particularly if you are cisgender) to normalize gender inclusivity in technical and professional communication and to help ensure you are addressed properly. However, if you are transgender or nonbinary, you are not obligated to do so if you find this transparency uncomfortable or risky.”
Despite being viewed as a conservative educational institution Texas A&M has recently been infected by the woke mind virus.
Texas Scorecard previously reported that in June 2023, TAMU tried to hire DEI fanatic professor Kathleen McElroy to be in charge of the university’s journalism program. Following the university’s president resignation from her position due to the McElroy scandal, the board of regents subsequently appointed Mark Welsh to serve the role of president. Welsh has built a reputation of supporting DEI principles and believing in the fictitious concept of white privilege.
TAMU has also been taken to task for its plans to limit the school’s responsiveness to public records requests after The American Accountability Foundation made a request of its own. The request wanted to find out more concerning the TAMU nursing school’s DEI fetish. TAMU claimed the requests were “threatening and amount to harassment.”
This case demonstrates the pervasive threat of anti-white. Even traditionally conservative academic institutions can be subverted by this noxious ideology.
Constant vigilance from watchdog organizations and grassroots activists is needed to keep the cultural Left in check. Eventually this activity must transform into concrete political actions where rogue universities are punished for their anti-white actions.
