Great question. You are not a democrat, so you’re fair game. Very typical here on DCUM. DP |

First, from what I’ve read so far, having the surveys be anonymous is not currently a goal. Second, I’ve done “anonymous “ surveys where I was the only one, or maybe one of two, with my particular demographic profile, so….while I didn’t have to list my name, the reality is that they were far from being anonymous in practice. For many people in some environments, it doesn’t take that many data points to narrow down identity. For example, I had a job where surveys were given to programs. Listing my degree alone, narrowed it down to one of 2 possibly people. Degree and race was all that was needed to identify my responses with 100% certainty. Degree, gender, race, age, place of birth — 5 data points would easily identify me as a faculty member most places, and 2or 3 data points, or even one might be enough in others. |

Yep. Thanks for posting this. Since we know the people posting propaganda won't read it, here are the salient point: The survey hasn’t been created yet but a spokesperson for the Florida Department of Education said it will be voluntary and won’t ask about individuals’ political beliefs. Instead, it will ask whether individuals “feel they can express their political viewpoints and opinions in their college classrooms.” Cheryl Etters, interim communications director for the education department, said the surveys will be voluntary and won’t ask about individuals’ political beliefs. "It’s merely going to ask whether they feel they can express their political viewpoints and opinions in their college classrooms," Etters said. "The idea is to get at ‘Do they feel safe expressing their own viewpoint in college?’" No one will be required to register their political views with the state, she said. Sen. Ray Rodrigues, the Republican who sponsored the bill, pointed PolitiFact to similar surveys at the University of Colorado and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that he said inspired the Florida legislation. The Colorado survey asked respondents about their political affiliation and political philosophy, and the North Carolina survey asked respondents about their political leanings. Both universities said the results were anonymous. North Carolina also encouraged students to take the survey with a $10 gift card. But, as written, the law doesn’t require public college and university students, faculty and staff to register their political views with the state. We rate the post False. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/jun/25/viral-image/new-florida-law-requires-public-universities-surve/ |

Yep. So do school systems. FCPS sends out all kinds of surveys, mainly about whether students and families feel "represented" or "heard" or whatever. This is absolutely no different. |

Look the last few years have shown that there are plenty of people that like the way you think. You’re welcome to hang out with them wherever you want. I know a lot of your type and you get a good kick out of people trying to argue against you. It’s cute. Have a great night. |

Ha ha ha. What a false statement. FCPS doesn't harm anyone based on the responses. We can not say that about nut job Desantis. |

Sounds very reasonable:
“ Under House Bill 233, surveys would be conducted annually on campuses to assess viewpoint diversity and intellectual freedom, and determine “the extent to which competing ideas and perspectives are presented,” and whether students and faculty “feel free to express beliefs and viewpoints on campus and in the classroom.” If you are a public institution, you should not have the luxury of pushing an agenda, left or right. |
