## Resource

Texas Tech faculty are suing the university over controversial memos requiring course content reviews on race, sex, and gender — claiming it’s censorship that violates First Amendment rights and unfairly targets Black professors. Filed by groups like the National American Association of University Professors, the lawsuit argues the policy stifles academic freedom and is viewpoint-based discrimination. The professors seek a court order to halt enforcement of these directives, which mandate review or removal of sensitive material — a move that echoes past attempts by Chancellor Brandon Creighton. Texas Tech has not yet responded publicly as the legal battle unfolds. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
