There's more, but this in particular makes me ####ing furious.

Not only is it illiberal to restrict academic freedoms, but they aren't even saying what the problem is or how to fix the curriculum. It's just more dog whistle bull####.
This is so terrible. Reminds me of the white washing of history in Japan and the controversies of their government-approved history curriculum and textbooks downplaying their war crimes related to comfort women and in Nanjing or altogether omitting it. If one can keep tight lips on it for 3 generations, nobody remembers anymore. Good luck with that though regarding African American history and what was done to their people. So, not sure what Florida is hoping they can accomplish here...
