[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pushing out DEI and lgbtq+ friendly leadership
Installing R politicians as leaders in colleges rather than people who have experience in academia
Changing admissions criteria by making it more cisgender friendly via recruited athletes
Pushing out existing staff and students

This is something that the Nazis would've done, and smacks of what they did as a precursor to extermination. Obviously, Desantis and his cronies wouldn't go that far, but pushing out existing staff and students to suit their agenda reminds of the Nazis pushing out the Jews into the ghettos.

FWIW, I am a cisgender female, moderate, sometimes leaning on the conservative side a bit.  But, what I see going on in FL is kind of scary.

I was thinking DC might apply to a FL college, but I don't think that's going to happen now. DC is not gay but has a lot of lgbtq friends.  FL is becoming very lgbtq unfriendly.[/quote]

Seems enrollment is up and gender studies and DEI is out. 
That is a good thing.  Gender studies is a road to nowhere.  [/quote]
OP here.., as I stated, I am not a progressive, and yea, I am not a fan of "wokism".  However, pushing out educators and installing politicos in leadership at an academic institution is terrible.

The only reason why they are going after recruited athletes is because the ultra right think that they are "real men", and it will push out the lgtbq students from that college.

Like I said, it's no different than the Nazis or communists kicking out Jews or any academics who disagree with their world view.

And if it's bad that liberals did that to conservatives, then I'll just remind you that "two wrongs don't make a right".

Desantis is determined to go backwards rather than forwards.  If you look at history, cultures that are determined to go backwards usually end up falling or becoming third world.  Intellectuals are pushed out; conservative dogma takes over.[/quote]

Bah.  Liberals don't have to chase out conservatives.  Conservatives cannot withstand any challenge with facts.  They whine and run and claim victimhood when really they just can't make an effective argument when confronted with real critical thinking.[/quote]

You must be a comedian wuth your incredibly ironic post. This forum is FILLED with liberal whiners. [/quote]
