The teaching of Plato is now too woke for today's "conservatives". What's next, erasing the Sermon on the Mount from the Bible to conform with the teachings of Saint Donald

Martin Peterson, a philosophy professor at Texas A&M University, was thunderstruck when he was told on Tuesday that he needed to excise some teachings of Plato from his syllabus. It was one way, his department head wrote in an email, that Dr. Peterson’s philosophy class could comply with new policies limiting discussion of race and gender.

Days before the start of the spring semester, one of the nation’s largest public universities is racing to interpret and enforce the A&M system’s rules. Some professors are reconsidering syllabuses at the direction of administrators, or are unsure whether they will be able to lead certain classes. Course sections are being canceled or potentially reclassified, threatening students’ schedules.

I just sent this to a friend that happens to be a Philosophy professor. So far Wayne State has not deemed Plato as too woke.

That describes him well. And most of the hardcore MAGA.

Stephen A Smith wants to run for President in 2028.     Makes sense.  There are no longer standards and he may be almost as dumb and the current resident.   Almost.
