How do you ban a philosophical concept? Plato is going full Streisand effect in 3 2 1…
Tyrannical regimes certainly do try.
We aren’t at the Khmer Rouge stage where the government sets their students against their professors, but - never say never. The conservatives have a long, simmering hatred of intellectuals.

Nothing but the brightest in Texas
Ironically, Plato was so distrustful of the intelligence of the common person that he had severe reservations against writing his lessons down.
His argument was that writings can be misrepresented and misused, and can’t defend themselves against it by arguing back.
Probably had something to do with the ostracization of Aristotle and Socrates as well
The university apparently quibbled with Plato’s reference the the “Myth of Androgyne,” in which Aristophanes describes three genders.

The Talibangelicals strike again.
“we must save the traditions of Western civilization” people in shambles

Wait til someone tells them that the Greeks were gay pedophiles by today’s standards.
Fastest U-turn ever
Might as well ban the New Testament. And the Constitution.
If you’re fool enough to visit Texas for education….
That’s fucking wild
Only tradition texas has, is being traitors.
