00:24starting with one being missed by the left. A University of Texas professor of 27 years has been dismissed from his administrative post over ideological differences.
00:35Texas Governor Greg Abbott confirmed the move in a post on X, writing, quote,
00:39Texas is targeting professors who are more focused on pushing leftist ideologies rather than preparing students to lead our nation.
00:47The university is one of several schools complying with President Trump's call for right-leaning academic reforms
00:53in exchange for federal funding preferences.
00:56Now to a story largely missed by right-leaning outlets.

01:05The move follows a court order temporarily blocking the Trump administration's layoff plan during the government shutdown.
