Florida state colleges and universities that show signs of “indoctrination” may be defunded, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said on Tuesday, as he and others on the right crusade against what conservatives have decided to call “Critical Race Theory.”
For a guy as well educated as is Desantis is, why is it necessary for him to continue to audition for the role of the banjo player in a remake of Deliverance? Also, if professors are “asked” to declare their political leanings, I hope they all reply “fascist.”
This guy could be trouble. But I have to tell you, Republicans, this is not the way to bring the educated suburbanites back into the fold. You want to defund the public universities if they don’t bend the knee to the wingnuts? Something’s gotta give there.
Koch Brothers, Putin, or whoever is using DeSantis as your sock puppet: Defund DeSantis! Otherwise we will have to tax you (Warren) or reach out and touch you (Biden).
Hold on while I feign surprise that a state which grants the right to “stand your ground” against people that might make you feel funny because of their hoodies is against teaching people about implicit racial bias.
I may not be able to muster the strength to feign surprise at the “Must prove you have enough Nazis” approach from people that are opposed to affirmative action.
They want to ensure that in the future there will be less educated suburbanites so that they don’t need them in the fold to maintain control, so that they can become even more radical.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
