Media Miss by the left: University of Texas professor dismissed over ideological differences
University of Texas professor Art Markman said he was dismissed from his role as an academic administrator over ideological differences, after 27 years with the school. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott confirmed the dismissal in a post on social media.
“Texas is targeting professors who are more focused on pushing leftist ideologies rather than preparing students to lead our nation,” Abbott wrote. “We must end indoctrination and return to education fundamentals at all levels of education.”
The University of Texas is one of a handful of schools to comply with President Donald Trump’s demands for right-leaning academic reforms in exchange for preferential federal funding.

Media Miss by the right: Interior Department pauses plans to lay off over 2,000 workers after court ruling
The Department of the Interior paused plans to fire more than 2,000 federal workers nationwide. It comes after a court issued a restraining order over the Trump administration’s plans to lay off government workers during the shutdown.
The proposed layoffs would have cut roughly one-quarter of National Park Service regional staff nationwide, even as current and former staff warn the agency already faces shortages.
Court records show hundreds of layoffs had also been planned for the Department of Commerce and the Department of Health and Human Services.
