DeSantis signs bill requiring Florida students, professors to register political views with state
Universities may lose funding if staff and students' beliefs do not satisfy Florida's GOP-run legislature
Based on the bill's language, survey responses will not necessarily be anonymous — sparking worries among many professors and other university staff that they may be targeted, held back in their careers or even fired for their beliefs.
Bishop also told the paper he "certainly hopes" the effort will expand into the K-12 system over time. |
Huh, I almost thought this applied to me until I realized this is for schools funded by the state government.
Welp, there goes our public university system. I know everyone is dissatisfied with the private universities, but this is why they are becoming more popular. American government is woefully terrible at handling education.
I don't know if anyone else saw the other awful thing he did by banning critical race theory from the classroom? The American Association of Colleges and Universities, along with a lot of other education organizations, wrote a scathing rebuke of the law reminding government that they are not the arbiters of what is appropriate to be taught in the classroom, and just because something is politically difficult for the ruling party, doesn't mean they get to dictate curriculum. I haven't seen anything this backward since Evolution was banned from the classroom back in the early 20th century.
DeSantis is Trump 2.0, and he's ####ing dangerous. I hope everyone is ready for him becoming president in 2024, because it's seriously possible if he can organize the Trump cult to get behind him.
