This is meant to lead people into retiring or getting fired. The point is to destroy education.

The answer is for all the teachers and students to strike until the university leadership steps down and appoints a joint students-professors council to run the institutions. If they start sending police in, then the industries supported by those universities also go on strike until this shitty government is out and real democracy rules the land. See you on the picket line comrade!

This is worth getting fired over. Make them follow up every petty threat. Resist every order, and cut fuel lines on your way out.

"Guys, we have to ban trans people to keep women safe!"

In case anyone hasn't gotten it yet: THAT WAS NEVER THE PLAN! In fact, women are more in danger than ever before! Well done!

I'm working hard to do what I can, but, in the meantime, I'm praying for a fucking miracle. Or....... idk something else. Brings me peace just thinking about it.

Great way to get support is to give fake statistics. 👊🏽

I would 4,000% still teach it regardless. Fuck them.

Management is required to flow down instructions, and I guarantee they agree that it's entirely bullshit. Who from (f)Elon's team is going to audit this bullshit to fire them over it?

I know a PMDB trainer in the VA. They say this is not the national directive they've been given, but it could be something more local.

At a recent conference, there was some very cagey and vague talk about what to do with references to "non-binary" though. This could have been a local, overzealous interpretation of that conversation.

Stay safe out there, gang.

they never specified how you have to say it. you could say it while shaking your head and putting up air quotes, or something to that effect. that would be a way of showing the extent of the censorship to a live audience.
