This governor means business!
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and Florida’s Republican legislature, are coming down like a hard, hard rain on the state’s “woke” higher education system (https://www.revolver.news/2023/02/desantis-new-florida-college-is-the-blueprint-for-recapturing-woke-institutions-nationwide/). Good news for a change! And the Far Left Crazy can only fruitlessly wonder what to do about it.
The New College of Florida, a small but convenient target, has had its Far Left cloak torn off. To sum it up briefly: old trustees out, new, actively conservative trustees in; college president fired; woke curriculum shredded. But wait, there’s more.
DeSantis & Co. rejected Advanced Placement African American Studies in the state’s high schools and forced College Board to drop it from its college entrance exams.
The legislature is working on a plan to cut back tenure.
A whole new program to reform “higher education” is moving quickly through the state legislature. Other states are watching closely. If the plan succeeds, we’ll see more of the same in quite a few states where the people are totally fed up with “woke education.”
The key to it all was speed: Far Left educators never knew what hit them, and DeSantis and the legislature gave them no time to cook up a response. It’s as if Florida were calling out the other states with “We can do this! And here’s how!” And the lesson is a simple one: States have the authority to reform state colleges and other “educational” institutions. Yes, they can! The only thing lacking was the courage and the will to do it.
We’ll get better at it with practice!
It only takes a few good people in places of authority to change things.
The Blue states have no good people in authority. That’s why they’re Blue states.
Our Arkansas Governor first executive order was to remove CRT from school curriculum, and she is spear-heading the school choice movement. I sure hope she follows DeSantis lead. Tonight she is doing the rebuttal to globalist Biden’s Hate of the Union speech.
There is hope.
