He’s got the vote of all the haters in this forum

Problem with blowhards like DeSantis is that he never defines terms, who is a “leftist?” what does destroy mean? Like “woke,” just throw the cliche out there and the lemmings will swallow it

Seems quite specific. He is attacking universities in Florida.

I wanted to give you a heads up about a recent law that has passed our legislature, SB 266, which goes into effect on July 1. For those of you who haven't followed the details, this law intervenes in higher education in a variety of ways that impact us, and I am happy to discuss any of this in more detail in person or over the phone/zoom. 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."

The only thing DeSantis is likely to destroy...is Florida's economy...and Florida itself.

He is a slug.

I have to say that's extremely unlikely but it's a great goal. Leftists are insane and when insane people are pushed they do inane things. Leftism will have to be neutralized with common sense and logic. The best place to start the process would be to get rid of leftism in the education system in America.

You are an extremely stupid asshole.

Not as stupid as you apparently. It's quite clear that leftism has been a cancer on this country. It should be eradicated in all haste but it won't happen by fiat. Eradicating leftist fundamentalism from schools is how we root out.

That would be awesome, though unlikely.

Not Universities - just fascism. Many universities have become cesspools of fascism, AKA "Woke." Return to free expression on America's campuses along with academic and intellectual freedom is long overdue.

You have no idea what happens at universities.

DeSantis will set up concentration camps for Lefties, place any white kids under 12 with "decent" families and imprison the rest.

He'll put the Lefties, the woke and anyone who doesn't salute his regime to work building a wall around the US. Any who dies will be left to rot on the outside of the wall.

That would be awesome, though unlikely.

DeSantis supports freedom of speech on America's campuses.

That distresses you - if you can't silence Americans, dangerous ideas like liberty and decency might threaten your Reich.
