"The readings in those units included Plato's Symposium, specifically Aristophanes' story about the origin of love and Diotima's ladder of love, which includes discussions of love between people of the same sex."
""No other serious research university maintains a policy on 'prohibited instruction,'" Peterson said about Texas A&M in his resignation letter."
""I admire the many federal prosecutors across the country who have chosen to resign rather than carry out illegal or immoral orders.""
Martin Peterson, a Texas A&M University philosophy professor, was banned from teaching Plato's works due to their references to same-sex love. Following this, he left for a position at Southern Methodist University. The ban stemmed from a new policy restricting discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity, prompted by a viral video of a professor discussing gender fluidity. Peterson criticized Texas A&M's policy, stating that no other serious research university enforces such restrictions on instruction.
