The worst politicians in America are about to quote Martin Luther King Jr.
You can’t quote “I have a dream” on MLK Day then legislate against that dream every other day of the year.

Dr. Leonard Bright @DrLeonardBright, Thank you for speaking for the ethics of free speech. Texas A&M @TXAMFoundation encouraged you to “censor race, gender, and sexuality——-core issues in ethical decision”,
You refused.
____________
YOU STAYED TRUE TO YOURSELF. You are heroic!
Happy MLK day 2026.

My graduate-level ethics course at Texas A&M was canceled after I refused to censor discussions of race, gender, and sexuality—core issues in ethical decision-making in public service.
Ethics is about people, power, and real-world consequences. Asking an ethics professor to erase identity from the classroom isn’t neutrality. It’s dishonesty.
I was pressured to script a discussion-based graduate course shaped by current events. When I refused to lie or undermine academic integrity, the response was retaliation, cancellation and a chilling message to faculty.
This is bigger than one class. It’s about academic freedom and the future of higher education.
I address this fully in my next video, premiering at 5:00 PM today. If you care about honest education, please watch, share, and follow.

.@ezraklein: “Do you believe Christianity to be more true than other religions?
.@jamestalarico: I believe Christianity points to the truth. I also think other religions of love point to the same truth. I've learned more about my tradition by learning more about Buddhism and Hinduism and Islam and Judaism. And so I see these beautiful faith traditions as circling the same truth about the universe, about the cosmos, and that truth is inherently a mystery.
Today marks 18 years since Renu Khator became president of the University of Houston. Under her leadership, UH earned Tier One status, joined the Big 12, opened Houston’s first new medical school in nearly 50 years and grew enrollment by more than 40% to nearly 49,000 students.
🇺🇸 I for one, stared today, as I start most day. I unraveled the flag of the United States of America. I took a moment to remember those who sacrificed their lives of us. I think of our country.
Then I stand with my hand over my chest and pledge,
“I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it states. One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all
“who can afford it”
I whisper “who can afford it”. I composed threes four (4) words a leasing already learned. I have recalled this situation about American life since the early day’s after JFK’s assassination. The Declaration of reminds me today as every day since I was an eleven (11) year old prorogue of President J. F. Kennedy and student of American History
(…for all who can afford us)
