Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott is once again warning star universities against advocating for genocide or antisemitism. While speaking at the annual conference of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board at the University of Texas in Austin, he gave a speech that explained the dangers of such teachings at universities. 

He also noted when the students graduate, business executives do not care about the social or political motivations of the academic institutions prospective employees attend. So, he believes it is counterproductive for institutions to teach these things.

He also mentioned that this would help avoid causing social unrest among the students and their councils. Abbott’s speech comes after the recent controversy involving Ivy League presidents.

Their testimonies on the Capitol Hill incident caused a lot of uproar among students and citizens. They got backlash over the news, and people called for their resignations.

Therefore, Abbott tried to encourage people to avoid this occurring again. The Governor also told the university authorities to avoid teaching students about any social agendas and should work to root out antisemitism on their campuses.

He said, “There’s been none of them who have asked me what is the ideological bent of what is being taught in our universities? How are students being indoctrinated?” He continued, “They don’t ask that because that is not applicable to what they are trying to achieve when they hire an employee.”

The ‘Lone Star’ state also passed a law earlier to shut down diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at public universities. To this, the governor spoke directly to the university’s authorities.

“You have a leadership responsibility to ensure that there is no one on your campuses that is advocating for genocide or antisemitism. It is completely unacceptable in the state of Texas, period,” he said. Furthermore, he explained how these issues start small in universities and can become serious cases of genocide.

In his own words, “If we have university leaders who are so hinged to ideological concepts, where they are unable to say what is and what is not antisemitism, what is and what is not; attempts at genocide. Then we have educational institutions that have lost their way as it concerns what their mission is.”

These issues also expose universities to backlash from the public. The Ivy League schools that were recently under fire are proof of this negative impact.

The governor noted, “Drifting from your core mission. It’s not only exposing your universities to extraordinary condemnation like what some Ivy League schools have been subject to.”

While closing his speech, he encouraged the university staff to do better in the future. “You’re causing us, if you do it, to drift away from what our real core mission is, and that’s to keep America the number one country in the world,” he said. He also told them to focus more on education and producing high-quality students.
