Welcome to Ron DeSantis’ “free” Florida, where degrees are limited to regime-approved subjects, diversity outreach is abolished, tenure is effectively eliminated, and control of core curricula shifts to political appointees.
HB 999 is the DEATH of academic freedom in higher ed.
@ungerbn103@realstewpeters Just another American Q loonatic. So sad that people live their lives believing that anybody that wants freedom, equality, and equity are out to get them. Must be so draining. Actually don't think he believes this, but makes money on it so continues to spread lies.
1/5This takeover of Universities in Florida is because of this map.
Every Blue area has one if not several Universities in them.
So take out the schools take out the blue from the map. DeSantis thinks.
Miami is purple really and he just kinda flipped

Holy shit. This is damning. A local news channel in Portland reported on Trump’s rollback of railway regulations in 2017 and warned about the danger. This needs to be shared everywhere. (h/t @patriottakes)
@Glorialandy19 Sad that we are even having discussions about the necessity for equitable educational opportunities in the US. This should not be a question.
@neutrino78x@fuckyouiquit The Republicans have mostly destroyed the unions. If they haven't destroyed them, they gutted them with "right to work" laws which actually protect corporations, nit workers.
The choice is no longer between the right and left. Red states are a harbinger of freedoms we may lose if Republicans win in 2024. Freedom to choose, freedom to read books and freedom to live the life of your choice are all at risk. The party of the Big Lie doesn't deserve power.
