It is a revival of the thought police. It is no longer acceptable to DeSantis and his fellow travelers to teach subjects in an historically accurate manner.

Yes, I think this survey could be a great opportunity for fun. I would hope that not a single person answers truthfully. They could discover that they have a lot more “diversity of thought” than they think.

People really should be required study the fall of Weimar Germany more in school, they’d be far less inclined to take fascist bullshit lightly thinking that it can’t happen here.

Depends on what you call a mouth.
DeSatan is a smarter and far more dangerous version of Trump.

I hope the students say FU to whomever asks them about this. Also, I hope the faculty does the same.

DeSantis is the common denominator for many IVY League educated facists. Something needs to be done at those schools.

When you espouse a dying ideology and debunked understandings of the history, society and the world around you…when you’ve been left behind and want everything to return to the time when you were considered right about everything, superior in everything, in control over everything…when that dying ideology and understanding of everything is key to you re-establishing and maintaining control and power…what choice do you have but to treat the death of all of that as if it’s a big conspiracy that needs to be undone by forcing everyone to “learn” your “side” of everything?
This is like someone demanding that Latin be taught equally with English. Dead language is dead.

The rot is spreading northward: Sonny Perdue is positioned to become the next Chancellor of the University System of Georgia. Perdue’s language is less extreme than DeSantis’ - higher education in Georgia needs to support “conservative values” and all - but no less fascist.
With UNC denying Hannah-Jones tenure, the Old South, under old white male leadership, is on the rise.

I agree except that I wouldn’t mind more people learning Latin!

Great idea!!
Let’s start with neo-liberalism, original intent and family values ideologies.
Neo-liberalism in it’s current usage just means a Democrat that didn’t support Bernie Sanders which is a majority of the Democratic base. Let’s avoid saying stupid things in public like Democrats are just as bad as the Family Foundation – a scam of an organization that drives people to disown their children or for people to be driven to such anguish as to commit suicide.
This shouldn’t have to be said to any grown-ass person, but here we are. Neoliberalism != religious extremism and torture.

DeSantis said that he was trying to stop the state’s colleges and universities from becoming “hotbeds for stale ideology.”
Okay applying that logic, let’s discuss churches and their tax status?
Not a single new thing has been written into their ideology in nearly two thousand years. Pretty stale to my way of thinking.

Team Unicorn is hopelessly lost and adrift on a sea of mindless idealism. We’re talking about people who wept openly about “Clinton is no different than Trump”…which, as we all know, totally aged super-duper well…

"…what conservatives have decided to call ‘Critical Race Theory’.”
Or what the rest of us call “reality”.

Just another example of a mediocre or less white man getting fancy degrees from self-proclaimed “prestigious” institutions designed by mediocre white men to graduate mediocre (or even stupid) white men into positions of power to protect ignorant oligarchs and the wealth that supports said institutions. It’s a mediocre white guy (occasional gal) circle, man. Don’t worry, it is all working as intended. (I worry a lot).
