PhD Student Falsely Claims U. Texas is Trying to Ban the Word ‘Racism’
“If they were to bring a public speaker, like me, to campus to teach, they couldn’t read my bio because it says I’m an anti-racism educator”
She is even claiming that a person could be jailed for using the word. This is disinformation.

PhD student falsely claims U. Texas professors can be jailed for saying ‘racism’
A doctoral student and “self-proclaimed anti-racism educator” at the University of Maryland recently put out a TikTok video in which she claims professors in the University of Texas could be thrown in jail for saying “racism.”
Victoria Alexander also said professors could be “punished, disciplined, fired [or] demoted,” the Austin American-Statesman reports.
“If they were to bring a public speaker, like me, to campus to teach, they couldn’t read my bio because it says I’m an anti-racism educator,” Alexander (pictured) says in the video. The clip had more than 379,000 views and 94,000 likes as of March 1.
Alexander additionally claimed there is a “hotline” at UT where folks can report professors who say “racism,” and that UT is spending $6 million “to enforce the ban” on the word.
But all of Alexander’s claims are “bogus on all counts,” according UT spokesperson Catherine Frazier.
Alexander claimed she obtained the word ban information from a meeting with a “University of Texas System” professor, but Frazier said there are no employees working directly for the UT System as professors. Instead, professors work for individual institutions within the UT System, such as the University of Texas at Austin or the University of Texas at El Paso.
Last week, Kevin Eltife, UT System Board of Regents chairman, did announce the UT System was pausing any new diversity, equity and inclusion policies at all of its campuses, but the brief announcement did not mention a ban on the word racism, the establishment of a hotline or any reference to spending $6 million to enforce a supposed ban. …

“they couldn’t read my bio because it says I’m an anti-racism educator”
Big difference between “can’t read it” and “read it and decided they weren’t looking to hire an aggravation.”
I read your bio and the only word which stood out to me was “grifter.”
Sounds like a copy and paste from the law Florida is supposed to have passed, in this person’s home dimension, against saying the word “gay”.
No, the bad word is “anti-.“ Just remove that bad word, and her bio says that she is a racism teacher. True,
Ready for a shock? Ms. Alexander is a “doctoral” student in…”Education”.
