Texas A&M prof kicks student out of children's lit class for objecting to trans ideology in kids books

A Texas A&M student was booted out of a lecture hall after objecting to gender ideology being taught during a children's literature course at the college. Video of the interaction has gone viral online after it was shared by Texas Republican State Rep. Brian Harrison on Monday.

Footage of the interaction showed Professor Melissa McCoul being confronted by a student about material surrounding gender ideology being taught in a class about children's literature. The student interrupted the lecture, voicing concerns that what was being taught went against executive orders from President Donald Trump as well as her religious beliefs.
