[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Texas is working to eliminate critical thinking in its teachers and professors and replace them with underpaid contract workers whose economic inability to leave will keep them obedient to the know-nothing Republican government. But creepy sexist/racist white guys at the top of the academic pyramid? Their jobs are secure. [/quote] This. They will be able to find people to teach most subjects. They won't have their pick of the most accomplished researchers in the nation. But they will find teachers, most of whom will probably be good because you don't need papers in Nature and 10k citations to teach freshmen well. And they will exploit and threaten those people and fire them for making waves even in their personal lives (look up Collin College in TX as an example of "non-renewal" used to keep faculty in line).
