“If I’m not allowed to talk about that stuff, I don’t know what to do anymore.”
This professor fails to see what’s obvious to everyone else.

Syracuse scholar: If Trump limits LGBT topics, I have nothing to teach about
A Syracuse University professor is worried President Donald Trump will limit her ability to talk about “gender” and “sexuality” and related topics.
The Syracuse student newspaper covered Trump’s recent executive orders to affirm that sex is binary and immutable. President Trump has also ordered an end to “diversity, equity, and inclusion” in the federal government while criticizing its use in the private sector. He also removed pro-LGBT content from federal websites.
This has Professor Erin Rand concerned.
“All of us are feeling pretty uneasy about what our jobs are going to look like, especially those of us whose work is centered in questions of gender, sexuality, race and ability,” Rand (pictured) told The Daily Orange. “If I’m not allowed to talk about that stuff, I don’t know what to do anymore.”
According to the student newspaper, the professor “feels the risk is compounded because she also identifies as queer and much of her teaching focuses on queer sexuality and women and gender studies.”
Rand’s “research is concerned with rhetorics of gender and sexuality in public discourse, and focuses particularly on queer and feminist modes of agency, dissent, and social protest,” according to the professor’s faculty bio.
It also includes “queer youth suicide, child pornography legislation, sex education for Black girls and femmes, resistant fashion for queer, trans, racialized, fat and disabled bodies, and contemporary tactics of queer political organizing,” according to the bio.
In a 2019 paper, Rand criticized a 2008 Supreme Court decision upholding a prohibition on real and virtual child pornography. The professor wrote that the decision “circulate[s] a strategic figuration of the child that emphasizes its sexual purity, vulnerability, and whiteness, and disavows the queerness of childhood desires.”

Well, then. Perhaps you need to find another line of work. Bishop Budde has suggested that there will soon be vacancies in the lawn care and restaurant industries. Perhaps McDonald’s is seeking French fry makers. Good luck with your job hunt.
Eh. Either of those jobs would possibly put her in contact with children and given her views on child porn…not good.
Do cable access channels still exist? If not, there’s always OnlyFans, where the prof can make money teaching anything she chooses. As for the kids’ “sense of community,” they can learn valuable business skills by opening up a rainbow coffeehouse where everyone can “feel safe and welcomed.”
With acumen like that Erin wouldn’t be employable if she weren’t female.
And, in her case…who knows?
Red flag
Then you never should have been “teaching” in the first place. Typical, went to school so that she could stay in school and never have to deal with the real world.
To quote the Democrats’ response to the loss of good-paying blue-collar jobs under Biden, “Learn to code.”
There are plenty of jobs that do not require her particular skill set, but I’m sure she can learn something new–isn’t that what the Biden administration was telling everyone who was losing their jobs because of their bans or rules and regs?
I am still trying to figure out how those topics comprise a college-level class.
