[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens to PhD programs in the humanities and social sciences if schools can no longer teach anything theoretical? I'm assuming that they dry up because you can't write a PhD thesis without engaging with theoretical concepts. Conservatives may say 'fine' but grad students teaching classes for cheap is part of what makes large universities with low tuition viable [/quote]

Some of you seem to want to *deliberately* misunderstand this bill.  Theoreticals can still be taught in major and elective classes - just not in gen ed.  [/quote]

How do you teach gen ed math without anything theoretical? All of math is theoretical [/quote]

Stop being deliberately obtuse.  You're not making the case you think you are.

Florida’s draft legislation also contains stipulations for general education courses, the classes students take as foundational work to compound studies in their chosen field.

It calls for colleges to reserve curricula “based on unproven, theoretical, or exploratory content” for elective or major-specific courses.

General education classes must not “suppress or distort significant historical events or include a curriculum that teaches identity politics.” Instead, the courses should, whenever applicable, “promote the philosophical underpinnings of Western civilization” and teach about key documents in U.S. history, like the U.S. Constitution, the bill states.
