Professor Forbidden to Teach Plato Assigns Article About University Censorship Instead Texas A&M philosophy professor Martin Peterson is using the censorship of Plato from his course syllabus to teach his students about freedom of speech

I spoke with Martin Peterson, the philosophy professor at Texas A&M University who had to remove Plato readings from a course syllabus to comply with school policies against teaching "race and gender ideology." He says he's replaced that material with media coverage of this censorship.
