"Keep Florida free"
http://time.com/6258304/florid...dei-crt-universities/ House Bill 999 would ban any funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives at Florida state universities, even if they're privately funded. It would make trustees responsible for hiring decisions on faculty - university presidents would only be allowed to give recommendations - and tenure status could be reviewed at any time. The bill calls for the rewriting of university mission statements. It would ban general education courses that teach "curriculum based on unproven, theoretical, or exploratory content" and that define "American history as contrary to the creation of a new nation based on universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence." Entire majors would also be banned, specifically, "any major or minor in Critical Race Theory, Gender Studies, or Intersectionality, or any derivative major or minor of these belief systems." African-American studies departments could also be vulnerable at public institutions statewide. "It is the most draconian bill that we've seen in the entire country relating to higher education," says Jeremy Young, who researches free speech and culture war issues at PEN America. "We are absolutely concerned about copycat bills in other states and about this spreading to be a national movement...I think it is very likely that this bill will pass in something very close to its current form in Florida, but it's never a sure thing." |

Why teach actual history when you can indoctrinate students with the myth of "american exceptionalism" and christian nationalism.
This sort of crap is going to make it hard for students from Florida to get into grad programs at real universities outside the meatball kingdom. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

I guess they can bring in retired police and veterans to fill the positions as professors walk out like our school teachers have done in response to this insanity.

This is the clampdown. This was the reason that most observers thought Rhonda meatball was more dangerous than trump. Trump would do a Muslim ban and wait for his bluster to shredded by the Supreme Court. Rhonda has targeted local school district races and now wants to be able to fire professors. Tenured professors. This also goes along with Rhonda's efforts to remove prosecutors that he feels don't represent his agenda. He's chipping away at the edges from the courts with appointments, removing prosecutors, stacking the local school boards, removing professors and courses and taxing private companies for an ever expanding definition of woke. Trump was incapable of this kind of concerted, disciplined effort. Rhonda is ambitious as Lucipher and he wants to scale this up in the great divorce.

'Owning the libs' is their platform now.
Pathetic, juvenile, divisive, and useless |

"Owning the libs" won't help these guys afford homeowner's insurance. I over heard one of them complaining about it recently.
It went something like "I like Desantis, but all this Disney "woke" crap isn't doing anything to help people afford the damn insurance". ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

Critical race theory exists whether you're allowed to talk about it under the North Korean version of FL or not.
If you need proof that there are oppressive, racist, pieces of trash among the white "race", one need look no further than NSR. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

The first rule about the clampdown is we don't talk about the clampdown. Tpap wants to label it as anything but what it is. He's contorting his bloated body into a snafu to keep anyone from seeing all the foreshadows.

Let all this authoritarianism and state control of academia and business settle in and see if it doesn't harm FL.
International students will think twice. Really anyone who isn't cis-hetero-white-christian will have serious second and third thoughts about studying or taking work in FL. International business (where DEI is very much alive and prioritized) will not want to be behind the red curtain. Fashy retirees, migrants, and methgators, that's Floriduh. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.
