A vice chancellor upheld the firing of Melissa McCoul, seen in a viral video being confronted by a student on her gender identity teachings, saying the termination was done with “good cause.”

Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired in the fall after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.

The New York Times first reported Wednesday that interim Texas A&M president Tommy Williams deferred the decision to the university system, and that James Hallmark, the system’s vice chancellor for academic affairs, wrote in a Dec. 19 memo that Melissa McCoul’s termination in September was supported by “good cause.” He did not explain his reasoning.

    For the rest of the country/world, when you read of someone’s education realize that if it is from Texas, it isn’t real. Move on to next candidate from somewhere that has an education system not a religious indoctrination system.

      What an ignorant take. You sound like someone who definitely understands higher education and the workings of modern universities. Fortunately most of Texas isn’t as ignorant as you, tough i admit you could give some people in specific universities a run for their money. Luckily you have no influence anywhere and the worlds is better off for it.

      tl;dr you are trash.
