We are deeply concerned about this unfolding case. Academic freedom, which Texas A&M endorses, refers to instructors’ right to teach in their area of expertise free from government interference.
Under political pressure, Texas A&M said Monday the administrators overseeing a children’s literature course at center of viral recording were going to be removed, saying they approved plans to teach material inconsistent with published course description.

BREAKING: We're sending an open letter to universities across the country, offering support and urging them to reject pressure to punish international students and faculty for exercising their First Amendment rights.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.
