Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said Sunday that his state is targeting professors pushing “leftist ideologies” as he shared news of the latest college educator allegedly fired over their beliefs.

In a post on social media, Abbott shared an Axios article about a University of Texas professor, Art Markman, who said the school’s leadership dismissed him from his administrative role in September “due to ideological differences.”

“Univ. of Texas professor was dismissed from an administrative post overseeing university academic affairs because of ideological differences,” Abbott wrote, echoing the professor’s own statement. “Texas is targeting professors who are more focused on pushing leftist ideologies rather than preparing students to lead our nation,” he continued. “We must end indoctrination and return to education fundamentals at all levels of education.”

Earlier this year, a Texas A&M University professor was fired after facing conservative criticism for a lesson on gender expressions, identity and sexuality. In the ensuing controversy, the president of the university resigned. The moves come as the Trump administration has sought to play a bigger role in higher education throughout the country, particularly regarding stamping out what it sees as leftist dogma.

Whatever drug these MAGats are addicted to that causes them to perpetuate this non-stop manic insanity, needs to be banned. The obsessive use of censorship of anything but RW loon rants and ramblings, is tiresome.

First Amendment for me but not for thee.
