Dear [TITLE] [LAST NAME],

I am a constituent in [CITY] writing to urge you to oppose viewpoint-based censorship in Texas public higher education. Recent actions at Texas Tech University have imposed a course-content review regime that censors teaching and learning related to gender identity and sexuality by requiring oversight and directing faculty to remove flagged material while review is pending. Whatever the stated rationale, this functions as prior restraint and undermines students’ education at a public, taxpayer-supported university.

Please support academic freedom and student learning by rejecting policies that chill lawful, discipline-relevant teaching and research; by demanding transparent written standards and due-process protections in any complaint or review process; and by ensuring that curriculum decisions remain grounded in professional expertise and shared governance rather than political enforcement. I would appreciate a response explaining your position and what steps you will take.

Sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]
