Texas A&M Fires Staff After Viral Video of Student Asked to Leave for Rejecting Transgenderism

Texas A&M University President Mark Welsh announced the dismissal of a dean and a department head after a viral video in which a student appears to be asked to leave class for disagreeing with transgenderism. Shortly thereafter, the professor herself was also fired. The video, shared by Texas State Rep. Brian Harrison on Monday, showed the student confronting Dr. Melissa McCoul during a class about children’s literature, asserting that her course materials disobeyed Trump administration executive orders against diversity, equity, and inclusion.
