Student's Snapshot Of Women's Studies
- A student reported a women's studies faculty where lesbians outnumbered non-lesbians, illustrating ideological and demographic skew.
- Mohler used this example to highlight how certain departments become homogeneous in identity and ideology.

- Identity politics and intersectionality drive creation of special-department curricula by framing groups as underrepresented.
- This logic multiplies programs as universities respond to claims of layered oppression.

- Texas A&M ended its women's and gender studies program and altered syllabuses to limit certain race and gender ideologies.
- Mohler sees this as a major development because such programs are typically ideologically left.
