RIP Thommy Price, the powerhouse drummer for Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and Billy Idol, who has died at 68. A force of rhythm and heart, his beats drove β€˜Rebel Yell,’ rocked arenas, and defined decades of pure rock & roll energy.

This decision by UT’s administration is not driven by any educational reasons; after all, the departments facing elimination are full of field-defining, award-winning faculty. UT administrators are falling in lockstep with a nationwide political attack on the freedom to learn by censoring 2/

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/
