“DeSantis, other state officials, go after university professors, tenure protection”

“The Tuesday bill signing of SB 7044 included a number of higher education measures, but the tenure issue was a main focus.”

“The bill, now a law, states that “The Board of Governors may adopt a regulation requiring each tenured state university faculty member to undergo a comprehensive post tenure review every 5 years.”

“Sprowls, a Republican representing part of Pinellas County, implied that some tenured professors could hold a student’s grade over their head for not believing in certain ideals, that there are some who come to indoctrinate”

“Higher education is important but it needs to be accountable, DeSantis said. I think what tenure does, if anything, is created more of an intellectual orthodoxy, where people who have dissenting views, it’s harder for them to even become tenured in the first place. And then once you’re tenured your productivity really declines, particularly in certain disciplines.”

“DeSantis and officials gathered for a bill signing — not at a state university or anywhere related to higher education — but at The Villages in Sumter County in Central Florida, where a majority of residents are senior citizens and where DeSantis has visited many times.”

So another words, if you don’t teach what DeSantis wants, you are going to get fired, that college professors can be canned for political reasons. Ronnie just can’t get over the embarrassment the Florida Universities caused him last year

Last week private businesses, this week, higher education, goes right along with his election police from last year. DeSantis is doing his best to squash any criticism of his autocratic policies, the mere fact he celebrated this bill in the Villages just about says it all

The “Freedom State,” as long as you don’t express opinions against the Governor or his policies
 
The focus needs to be on the chilling effect fear has put in our classrooms where teachers are afraid to really teach and challenge students because all it takes is one student in the class to be offended and report them. The idea of critical thinking goes out the window in such an environment because an environment has to be created where every student feels safe at all times. Not sure legislation fixes that though, that may be in University “leaders”.

Do you understand that’s why professors were offered Tenure in the first place? So that they would be free from political pressure?

WRONG. It says that teachers cannot use students grades to force them to accept whatever political agenda the teacher is indoctrinating the student(s) with.


LEARN TO READ.


“We need to get back to the basics: reading, math, arithmetic. CRT is not something I agree with at all, especially as a person of color,” said Lacaysha Howell, mother of three. “Kids are coming home telling parents they are learning things that are incomprehensible to them. I am biracial and my three kids are biracial. This [CRT] is not what we need to be teaching in our schools. I want to continue to keep my kids in public school, but their educators need to teach them the basics.”



National examples of Critical Race Theory include:

A Philadelphia elementary school forced fifth-graders to celebrate “Black communism” and simulated a Black Power rally to “free Angela Davis” from prison. At this school, 87 percent of students will fail to achieve basic literacy by graduation. More here.
Seattle Public Schools told teachers that the education system is guilty of “spirit murder” against black children and that white teachers must “bankrupt [their] privilege in acknowledgement of [their] thieved inheritance.” More here.
San Diego Public Schools accused white teachers of being colonizers on stolen Native American land and told them “you are racist” and “you are upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies.” They recommended that the teachers undergo “antiracist therapy.” More here.
An elementary school in Cupertino, California forced third-graders to deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.” More here.
A middle school in Springfield, Missouri, forced teachers to locate themselves on an “oppression matrix,” claiming that white heterosexual Protestant males are inherently oppressors and must atone for their “covert white supremacy.” More here.
Buffalo Public Schools taught students that “all white people” perpetuate systemic racism and forced kindergarteners to watch a video of dead black children warning them about “racist police and state-sanctioned violence” who might kill them at any time. More here.
The Arizona Department of Education created an “equity” toolkit claiming that babies show the first signs of racism at three months old and that white children become ”strongly biased in favor of whiteness” by age five. More here.


National Examples of woke corporate trainings include:

Raytheon, the nation’s second-largest defense contractor, has launched a Critical Race Theory program that encourages white employees to confront their “privilege,” reject the principle of “equality,” and “defund the police.” More here.
Bank of America teaches that the United States is a system of “white supremacy,” encourages employees to become “woke at work,” and teaches that white toddlers “develop racial biases by ages 3-5.” More here.
A Google employee program claims that America is a “system of white supremacy” and that all Americans are “raised to be racist.” M

Or one parent. Given all the attacks and criticism, largely from those outside education, often for political ends, along with pay and benefits reduction, it is amazing any young kid, especially a talented one, would ever want to go into Education

Irony here is that Florida already has a top ranked public University system, especially remarkable given they are a southern State, yet for some reason, which is pretty obvious, the Governor has decided it needs amending
 
“Are they (students) going to walk into a university system that’s more about indoctrination than it is about getting a job some day and learning the skills necessary and the subject matter necessary to get a job?” Sprowls said. “Or is it about some sort of radical political agenda that a particular professor, who’s been told they get a lifetime job, is going to tell them that they have to believe to get an ‘A’ in their class?”

transparency

“We want to make sure that when they walk into that classroom, and there’s that professor who didn’t really come to teach — And I want to say this, there are lots of professors who come to teach. There’s lots of teachers who come to teach.

Wait a minute, professors are already reviewed by their colleagues, peers, and schools, plus their syllabus is right out in front, so now their not “transparent?”

“Accountably” appears more so how they conform to DeSantis’s wishes

article says syllabus is not always done before class starts -or it's not as advertised.
Im not up on all thins but it looks to be an effort to weed out the indoctrination profs -which are legion in todays academia

DeSantis is not involved in the new review process

Read Jonathan Haidts work whether books like “The Coddling of the American Mind” or even his most recent work in the Atlantic. He speaks directly about this, even older liberal professors are overwhelmed by it. What’s happened over the past six years in higher education had not been good.

Just what we need: Professors held accountable for indoctrinating students, and threatening the grades of those who challenge the left agenda bullshit.


PRECISELY WHAT WE NEED...LONG OVERDUE.
