Texas A&M Instructor Fired for Stating Scientific Facts About Sex and Gender
By
Joseph L. Graves Jr.
Summary
The article discusses the firing of Melissa McCoul, a senior English instructor at Texas A&M, for stating in class that biological sex and gender are not equivalent — a scientifically accurate statement. A student complained that this violated President Trump's Executive Order recognizing only two genders (male and female) and also offended their religious beliefs. The piece frames this incident as part of a broader assault on science, academic freedom, and democratic inquiry, arguing that attacks on gender biology reflect a wider pattern of undermining evidence-based discourse in universities.
