#introductions Hi Fediverse! I’m a #Texas transplant living in Stavanger, #Norway for the past 10 years. You’ll find me sharing my favorite #Gardening adventures, #vegan recipes (yes, I jumped in with those first!), and life abroad.

A philosophy professor at Texas A&M University has been told to change his syllabus to omit some teachings from Plato's "Symposium" in order to comply with guidance banning advocacy for “race and gender ideology.” Martin Peterson's course on contemporary moral issues covers concepts like Aristophanes' myth of the the split human and Diotima's Ladder of Love. Here's Spectrum Local News's coverage, plus a story from Daily Nous that includes the email exchange where Professor Peterson is told either to remove the modules and readings, or be assigned to a different course.
