Texas professors want to use abortion ban to punish students for "consensual sexual intercourse" (www.salon.com)
“Along with their anger about abortion, they grouse about not being allowed to punish students “for being homosexual or transgender.” They also argue they should be able to penalize teaching assistants for “cross-dressing,” by which they appear to mean allowing trans women to wear skirts.”
