Out today from @drajp.bsky.social: We say that people should be able to form their own opinions. This right to form one’s own opinion should extend to a student’s opinion that studying gender and sexuality, variables that impact everyone, is worth their investment.

University of Houston Nixed Its Gender and Sexuality Classes. That Won’t Stop Texas’ Crusade Against Higher Ed
College administrators wrongly hope that anticipatory obedience will satisfy a GOP-run Texas Legislature that is increasingly hostile toward education.

Finished reading Dr. David Perry's @lollardfish.bsky.social new book THE PUBLIC SCHOLAR this morning. It's a great and important read. My short review should be live on Amazon soon.

Still masking. None of our other problems have gone away.

It's 2026. The pandemic continues on. SARS-CoV-2 remains a mass disabling event. The sooner people start always masking and adapting the better life will be for everyone. The science is there.

All I want for Christmas is for people to acknowledge the pandemic continues and to adapt their behavior accordingly. This starts with wearing high-quality masks. Millions will be reinfected with this novel virus today.

Weaving stories of the kids I’ve learned from with the latest scientific research, I explain everything from what gender identity is, to what gender-affirming medical treatments entail, to the research on bathroom bills, sports, conversion therapy, and more.

My latest! "More sophisticated forms of engagement than 'agree' and 'disagree' exist in the classroom. Ideally, we want to consider lots of different, different perspectives and think about how and why those ideas exist." thedailycougar.com/2025/11/21/d...

Social media forces us to think in polarities: we either “agree” (and maybe “like” or “love”) or “disagree” with what the algorithm sends our way. Carrying this kind of thinking […]

Sometimes, like today, I am even more extremely and deeply frustrated and irritated at how ridiculous people en masse are being about how the world has changed since March 2020 and how they refuse to follow science and consider how easily they could protect others.

I'll be in the hospital at least three days. Dr. Ian McCutcheon will be doing the surgery, who I've known for over a decade. Excited and ready to get surgery #7, brain surgery #2 all done!

Brain surgery to remove a large tumor on the pituitary will be January 5 at MDAnderson. They are also going to remove three painful neurofibromas while I'm under. Total surgery time will be about four and a half hours.

It's a bit of a guesstimate. We know that nationally ≈60% of students take at least some classes online, ≈25-30% take all of classes online. There's a lot of online only colleges/programs. The comm colleges that I track have ≈70-80% online classes. At the uni. where I teach, around ≈40/45% online

Dr Andrew Joseph Pegoda @drajp.bsky.social · 26/10/2025
A frustration I have with most articles, webinars, discussions, and other conversations about college teaching is that they totally ignore and erase that a majority of said instruction now occurs in online, not face-to-face, classes.

If you are a person who told everyone they were overreacting in 2016, and you have since realized you were wrong, I think you have a valuable role to play right now: Talk to people who aren't convinced things are *that bad* about why you were wrong and what you wish you had done differently.

My experience is that these self-appointed critics and would-be reformers of the higher ed system *never* take the opportunity to talk to people in the higher ed sector. They’re just not curious and don’t ask questions. They know the answers in advance. They’re the antithesis of real scholars.

This is key to understanding the FedSoc Supreme Court: the facts do not matter. They will invent their own reality and substitute it for the reality we're actually living in.

I encourage people to watch this video. The selected footage shows the professor doing nothing even slightly out of line, whereas the student misinterprets the law and hopes to impose her religious beliefs on the material. Administrators caving to this is terrifying.
