DeSantis has turned Florida into literally an Orwellian nightmare --- N. Korea style

This law will not stand. It will be challenged in court.

It's a clear step toward a fascist state. No wonder our Trumpers here like the idea. The First Amendment protects not only the right of free speech but also the right not to speak.

If there wasn't a moment from before proving you're a retard, well there is now.

Who gives a fuck what a dimwit like you thinks???????????

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has signed legislation that will require university and college students, faculty, and administration to declare their political views to ensure the institutions aren’t “indoctrinating” children into liberal “ideology.”

The shocking law not only requires the schools to survey staff and students, but it also allows students to secretly record professors so they can sue if they don’t “feel free to express beliefs and viewpoints on campus and in the classroom.”

Florida Republicans made it clear they did not intend for the law to protect liberal or minority students, decrying the institutions of higher learning as “socialism factories” and “hotbeds for stale ideology.”

“It used to be thought that a university campus was a place where you’d be exposed to a lot of different ideas,” DeSantis said during a bill signing ceremony. “Unfortunately, now the norm is, these are more intellectually repressive environments. You have orthodoxies that are promoted, and other viewpoints are shunned or even suppressed.”

I used to visit my brother in Clearwater but I'll never step foot in that crazy fuckin state....Gaetz, Rubio, DeSantis etc etc etc represent their state well

Next will come teachers, Civil Service employees, etc.

It used to be hard to imagine that elected members of the government could be this authoritarian. Then Trump happened. Maybe the next thing DeSantis and his Republican legislators could do is pass a law requiring all confessed Leftists in the state to wear little stars.

This will never stand up to scrutiny by the courts … but I do see it as trying to combat what’s gone on in education … especially higher education … for a long, long time.

This is just crazy. At a time we desperately need Americans to get more education, Republicans are trying to destroy the universities.
