Reported for teaching about race! We are in the sunken place and it is our very democracy that will suffer unless we stand up to this madness: “Her students reported her for a lesson on race. Can she trust them again?” https://t.co/acEfockEHX

[Jeremy C. Young @jeremycyoung]

The reality: the DOE Office of Civil Rights is investigating whether New College intentionally put students with respiratory disabilities in moldy dorms and installed non-ADA-compliant restroom signage. It's not about your pronouns, Chris.

[DEFY @DEFYmovement]

Shocking.

In the final analysis, and in the founding spirit of @NewCollegeofFL, we will be responsible for our own education. Which is why we helped build @AltNewCollege

[PEN America @PENamerica]

@elonmusk In #Florida, PEN America partnered with the “Alt New College,” which was inaugurated this week as a response to the unprecedented hostile takeover of the New College of Florida and resulting limits on academic expression. https://t.co/S6yH83k5bN (11/x)

“We see no difference between what’s gone on in Hungary, Russia, Afghanistan or Myanmar and what’s going on in Florida….We decided to do what we’ve done in other places….provide a pathway for students to continue a rigorous liberal arts education.” https://t.co/6LVhRkN9S8

We are going to find alt ways to bring him back to our students at New College. We will DEFY these attacks on our academic freedom.

This is what REAL indoctrination looks like:

Book bans in the United States are being implemented in record numbers, but new analysis reveals that something else is at an all-time high — #LGBTQ+ book sales.

Prediction: The average GPA of (New) New College students admitted tanks so these grifters can collect $$$ in bonus for enacting DeSantis and Rufos political theater, taking over NCF w claims it is failing and then destroying the colleges’ academic standards & claiming victory.

[Hannah Homer @HannahHomer7]

Follow the $$$. DeSantis installed Corcoran and BoT. Corcoran gets a big bonus based on enrollment on day 1. His pea-brain solution is Sportsball and using millions taxpayer $$$ to hire coaches, recruit, offer full ride $, and turn the museum into a gym. We lose, he wins. GRIFT.

So the BOG has concerns about @NewCollegeofFL accountability plan.
