The case for affirmative action for faculty recruitment based on nonconformity of philosophical view is much stronger than that for affirmative action based on race. Provision of the latter is essential and not merely incidental to the University's mission.

Remember its "DC-based Unions Dismissing Parents" NOT "Pastors for Children",
Because Texans love parental rights
And Texans hate formulaic self/serving front groups who use deception to mislead voters.
Thats why parental empowerment will prevail in Texas.

Real pastors on Twitter would know that parents dont want to leave "good" schools that are working well for their children. Youre just union hacks trying to preserve a failed system that doesnt teach all kids so it tries to indoctrinate them instead. While unions make millions.
