Are they going to keep coming when they find out that the FL board of education is now requiring schools to teach that slavery had some benefits for the enslaved?

"Students at Florida public schools will now learn that Black people benefitted from slavery because it taught them skills. This change is part of the African American history standards the State Board of Education approved at a Wednesday meeting."

And, if that doesn't dissuade them, are they going to keep coming when they are priced out of home ownership because they can't afford home insurance--or can't even get insurance, which is a requirement for getting a mortgage?

That’s not what the hiring officials at these universities are saying upthread. It looks like a lot of temporary gap-filled positions are occurring this academic year. I wonder if they will have to resort to the same level of professionals used for their K-12 schools in Florida. Remember to become a public school teacher in Florida now, all you need is be a veteran of the US armed forces. No college or educational skills required. They just want you to fill a spot and teach by state sponsored PowerPoint.

You can also be the spouse of a veteran with no other qualifications.

This is a great example of the actual grooming white supremacists are doing. Once people are taught garbage like this, it is very hard to unstick this kind of thinking. Azie Dungey’s Ask a Slave series on YouTube showed just how sticky it is.

New College, which is asking the state for $2 million for a center for cancel culture, can't find professors who want jobs there anymore

Meanwhile, college officials are working to fill 36 open faculty positions in time for the fall semester that begins Aug. 28, the News Service of Florida reported. The vacancies account for about a third of the college's full-time faculty members, which provost Brad Thiessen said at a separate board meeting this month was a "ridiculously high" level of turnover.

The Left is whining because ONE state’s colleges won’t submit to their social justice nonsense. They are like a little kid pouting because he can’t have ALL the cookies.

Social justice is not nonsense. This country was built on that ideal.

Heh well that's one read of the situation I guess? The other is that DeSantis has enacted an arbitrary, punitive, nasty educational system - one that is also taking away tenure! - and people with options aren't going to submit to that. Why would they?

For years the right has told us that there are LOTS of right wingers who'd love the freedom to be out and proud in a college setting - why aren't they applying to teach at New College, either?

Seems like the New College is having problems getting any cookies.

^ Oh, and a system led by political cronies with no qualifications, to boot. It just isn't a serious system.

That’s how it crumbles when you can’t get the butter and the flour to come work for you.

Excellent point, PP! Where are the legions of right-leaning professors who have been so suppressed in "liberal" colleges? They should be practically knocking down the doors of New College. Could it possibly be that New College doesn't have the prestige or credibility they would like in their academic careers?

Exactly. Libs need to acknowledge it’s 2023. What is their end goal of CRT? Division, not unity.

Have you taken any classes on US history? The country was built on the idea that planters and merchants didn't like paying taxes

This isn't "libs" whining - it's a (newly) right wing college being unable to find professors to teach its classes. I think that's a case of hoist on your own petard - "libs" have nothing to do with it. Is this the outcome you hoped for - a right wing college, where no one wants to teach?
