I know you believe this. But academicians in all disciplines are worried about Florida. Chemistry professors, CS professors, engineering professors, as well as humanities professors. There is a suppression of intellectual freedom by govt which is really problematic.

From what I've heard, these professors are more worried about being forced by the college to include CRT and equity in their curriculum.

You need to catch up. CRT was the imaginary problem two years ago. This year’s imaginary problem is pronouns.

Is it more problematic than suppression of conservative and Judeo/ Christian thought, which is common at academic institutions across the country?

CRT is still a serious issue of concern. Pronouns have been on the table for at least as long.

Criminy, conservatives have been whining about that crap for decades. Academia is progressive by its very nature; conservatism is its polar opposite. Guess which thrives?

You mean like refusing to allow open scientific inquiry about things like the efficacy of wearing masks, etc?

We want Florida to be as enlightened as the faculty and students at Stanford Law.

Bingo. End thread.
