It will never be enough to stop the next attack. https://www.texasobserver.org/university-of-houston-ends-gender-sexuality-courses-op-ed/

This right to form one’s own opinion should extend to a student’s opinion that studying #gender and sexuality, variables that impact everyone, is worth their investment. https://www.texasobserver.org/university-of-houston-ends-gender-sexuality-courses-op-ed/
