得克萨斯州A&M大学系统执政者正在就一项拟议政策进行表决,该政策要求教职员工在教授被称为“种族或性别意识形态”的内容之前,必须事先得到校园领导者的批准,而“种族或性别意识形态”则被定义为羞辱种族、促进积极性或将性别认同与非生物性等同起来的教义。 Texas A&M University System regents are voting on a proposed policy requiring faculty to get prior approval from campus leaders before teaching content labeled as "race or gender ideology," defined as teachings that shame races, promote activism, or equate gender identity with non-biological sex. 该政策缺乏明确的执法准则,受到教师和学术自由倡导者的批评,他们说它威胁言论自由、风险审查,并可能导致法律挑战。 The policy, which lacks clear enforcement guidelines, has drawn criticism from faculty and academic freedom advocates who say it threatens free speech, risks censorship, and could lead to legal challenges. 此次投票是在一名教授在课堂上就性别认同问题展开讨论时遭到有争议解雇后进行的, The vote follows the controversial firing of a professor over a classroom discussion on gender identity and comes amid broader state efforts to restrict diversity-related curriculum. 在作出最后决定之前,将听取公开证词。 Public testimony will be heard before the final decision.
