President of America's biggest university forced to step down over 'transgender indoctrination'​

The president of Texas A&M University will step down amid fury over alleged 'transgender indoctrination' after a children's literature course recognized more than two genders.

Mark A. Welsh III will leave his role from Friday, according to the university's Board of Regents.

It comes just days after the lecturer of the course, Melissa McCoul, was fired. Two other administrators were also removed.

Texas State Rep Biran Harrison posted the video with the caption “CAUGHT ON TAPE: TEXAS A&M STUDENT KICKED OUT OF CLASS AFTER OBJECTING TO TRANSGENDER INDOCTRINATION... and A&M President defends ‘LGBTQ Studies.’”

It's odd he stepped down rather than getting things sorted.

Moment Trucker Is Distracted By Porn Before Deadly Crash That Killed Beloved Dad: ‘Mind-blowingly stupid’​

A veteran trucker who killed a British dad in a car crash after he was distracted by porn on his phone sat in his vehicle with his head in his hands after the gruesome incident, police photos showed.

Neil Platt can be seen sitting in the driver’s seat, wearing a purple T-shirt and orange safety vest, covering his face after the fiery, May 2024 wreck on a major highway in Lancashire, about 40 minutes east of Liverpool.

Platt, 43, was “heavily distracted” and blew past stopped traffic before striking a Hyundai Kona driven by Danni Aitchison, a married father of two who was on the phone with his partner at the time of the fatal crash.

Killer Assata Shakur’s Twisted Legacy Brought Us Today’s Lefty Terrorists​

As President Donald Trump and his administration take on the latest wave of left-wing violence, an obituary reminds us what happens when political killers get away with their crimes.

The law never caught up with Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur.

She died Thursday, age 78, an honored guest of Cuba’s Communist regime — and honored, disgracefully, by tenured radicals in America’s universities, too.

Professors have placed this convicted murderer on lists of “African-American heroes” and present her as a model for activism.

Stanford University’s dean of students, Mona Hicks, quoted a “loving refrain from Assata Shakur” in a campus email at the time of the George Floyd riots:

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

That language wasn’t metaphorical — when Shakur said fight, it was a call to violence.

She wasn’t just an activist; she was a terrorist, a self-styled “revolutionary” of the Black Liberation Army, a Marxist-Leninist radical group in the 1970s.

Revolution for them meant robbing banks, planting bombs and killing cops.

Assata Shakur and her partners in crime were welcomed by the institutions that shape the next generation — and America is now reaping the bitter harvest.
