Alan Blinder reports:
“A philosophy professor who is not allowed to teach Plato?” Dr. Peterson said in an interview on Wednesday. “What kind of university is that? Is that really what they want?”
“How,” he added, “can we possibly teach philosophy without being allowed to discuss Plato, even if some of Plato’s ideas are a little bit controversial?”
Texas A&M, which is in College Station, said in a statement on Wednesday that the university would “teach numerous dialogues by Plato in a variety of courses this semester and will continue to do so in the future.” Other, approved sections of the same course, the university said, “include works by Plato but do not include modules on race and gender ideology.”
