APA Joins Other Organizations in Calling for Texas A&M to Rescind Censorship Policies The American Philosophical Association (APA) has signed onto to a letter by PEN America to the Texas A&M University System Regents “to request that they rescind two policies, passed in fall 2025, that have resulted in the censorship of academic courses across the institution, and the announced closure of the University’s Women’s & Gender Studies Program.” The policies (discussed here, here, and here) are “an unacceptable incursion on the principles of academic freedom that form the well-established bedrock of American universities,” according to the February 10th letter. The APA is one 36 organizations to sign onto the PEN letter. Here’s the text of the letter: Dear Texas A&M University System Regents, We, the undersigned organizations, are writing in defense of academic freedom to request that you rescind the recent changes to Policies 08.01 and 12.01 that have resulted in censorship of course content at Texas A&M, including the cancellation of certain classes and the announced closure of the University’s Women’s & Gender Studies Program. As stewards of the Texas A&M University System, the Regents have the obligation to uphold academic freedom and encourage, rather than stifle, open inquiry in and out of the classroom.  The revisions made in November and December 2025 to Policy 08.01, Civil Rights Protections and Compliance, prohibit academic courses from “advocating race or gender ideology, or topics related to sexual orientation or gender identity.” The campus president may review and exempt “specific non-core curriculum or graduate courses in some disciplines” but only “in limited circumstances upon demonstration of a necessary educational purpose.” Revised Policy 12.01, Academic Freedom, Responsibility and Tenure, prohibits faculty from teaching “material that is inconsistent with the approved syllabus for the course,” with no allowance for flexibility. These policies limit students’ access to course content related to race, gender, and sexual orientation, and constrain professors’ ability to teach effectively by prohibiting instruction responsive to class discussions or current events. National organizations—including PEN America, the AAUP, and FIRE—joined the Texas AAUP-AFT, the Texas AFT, and local stakeholders in raising concerns about the chilling effect of these policies.  Unfortunately, a wave of content restrictions and mandated syllabus revisions has since swept across the Texas A&M System. Courses have been cancelled, including a graduate course on Ethics in Public Policy that was cancelled after the start..

The APA is paying attention!

Come on, Texas Tech! Consult your dictionary! To mention is not to advocate! When we mention the words “censorship” or “brainwashing” or “indoctrination” or “retaliation,” we are doing the opposite of advocating for those practices! #DefendAcademicFreedom #LetStudentsLearn #LetTeachersTeach

The Idaho Senate is pushing a bill that bans DEI programs in public colleges. Includes: Campus activities, faculty or staff positions as well as in hiring and admissions.

This is censorship—plain and simple. #SB1198 #Idaho #LetStudentsLearn

As a CPS high-school teacher, we are fearful for our students. The Mexican Consulate deluged w/ the concerns cannot stand alone. We instruct our students to memorize a documented friend’s phone number and act w/ wisdom. The fear is real. #deportationidiocy #letStudentsLearn #kindness #safespace
