Texas A&M University has dismissed multiple faculty members following viral footage showing a student being told to leave class after objecting to transgender ideology.
University President Mark Welsh announced the removal of a dean and department head Monday, and by Tuesday the professor involved was also terminated.

The student argued that course materials on gender theory violated Trump administration executive orders.
“This also goes against, not only myself, but a lot of people’s religious beliefs,” the student said.
