If anyone is interested, I can ask someone from the Counsel's office to attend our retreat to share their perspective on this with us.

    Chairs met with some of the university lawyers earlier this week, and they pointed out some of the sections of the law that might be important for us.

    While I would recommend that you familiarize yourself with the entire law, if you are teaching general education, you may want to attend to the section on general education that begins on line 528, with special attention to section c (line 556-561) and D2 (lines 567-571). I'm not sending this on because I anticipate problems, but simply for you to be aware of.

    Section c: "(c) General education core courses may not distort significant historical events or include a curriculum that teaches identity politics, violates s. 1000.05, or is based on theories that systemic racism, sexism, oppression, and privilege are inherent in the institutions of the United States and were created to maintain social, political, and economic inequities."

    Raising the question what exactly is meant by "General education core courses"? A junior or senior year course in "African American Studies", for example, would seem to be outside this category. A general history course would be able to take up the obvious existence of racism without identifying it as "inherent in the institutions of the United States", raising the question how would and could it be identified. Racism was obviously inherent in the institutions of Southern states in the Civil War era. The governments of those states even proudly claimed it as such. So does this mean a general American history course would be unable to teach students the South Carolina "Declaration of Secession"?

    An administration of RDS/Scott will address racism and other issues regardless of race through a booming economy that will provide jobs for the jobless. Only those unwilling to work or too sick or disabled will be without jobs. The rest WILL work or face the consequences. Jobs for all......a productive America is a GREAT America.

    Time to get TO WORK. Have a GREAT day all.............

    This is what the law says is included:

    Section c: "(c) General education core courses may not distort significant historical events or include a curriculum that teaches identity politics, violates s. 1000.05, or is based on theories that systemic racism, sexism, oppression, and privilege are inherent in the institutions of the United States and were created to maintain social, political, and economic inequities."

    It’s is written in language that is clear enough that even you can understand it, Marty.

    If I didn't understand it, dumbo, I wouldn't have put up that comment. The South Carolina Legislature, probably in sympathy with much of today's Florida legislature, expressly stated "Negroes" were an inferior race that benefited from white slavery. This was, in fact, a prevailing opinion in Southern white culture and a rationale in Southern legal systems. The Florida rule seems to prohibit public colleges and universities from teaching it.

    If you don't know when the Civil War started you don't belong in a political discussion forum. Same can be said if you think the racism of the elected government was not shared by voters and the public at large or if you didn't know the Republican Party was formed in the 1850's as a progressive alternative but in the 20th Century lost that mantle to Democrats and became the regressive party.

    Well, I can spot political speak when I see it, but if he’ll just point it out for what it is and stand against the extremes of it when the opportunity arises I’ll be satisfied with his efforts.

    If you mean DeSantis is there anyone who engages in "political speak" more than he does?

    The transphobia is just a cover for perversion.

    Spending actual minutes out of the day thinking about kids' genitals is sick.

    You know who spends zero minutes of the day thinking about that? Leftists.

    No, he isn't, Underscore, but I agree with your advice that all fucking Nazis shoot themselves.
