[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sad about all this.  A close family member spent the last forty years of their life working to make UF a top institution with world class professors and research.  They just retired.  So sad for them and all the other deans and departmental heads that put their lifeblood into making UF a top university.[/quote]
It’s got to be horrifying, just at a basic level to degree holders from the affected colleges and universities, and then especially to the people who have made them good schools and programs. DeSantis is a fascist; I hope your family member is going to speak out. [/quote]

Oh yes - the next thing will be concentration camps hidden from world view. Millions will be executed only to be found later during destruction of the Sun Reich.

You really need a history lesson in what you are comparing DeSantis to. HB 999 is not remotely close to any of what you are analogizing to. I suspect you haven't even bothered to read it, since reading words others haven't summarized for you is hard. Summaries on twitter and the Washington Post suffices to rile you up and convince you of embarrassingly dumb comparisons. What is even more ridiculous is these kinds of comparisons are entirely appropriate to be stated in workplace setting. That his disconnected from reality all this has become.  [/quote]

One of the first things Hitler did when taking power in 1933 was to politicize German universities, imposing their political views and purging them of communists and Jews. Books written by Jews, communists and other "undesirables" were banned.

Please use your big brain and substitute LGBTQ people and gay or gender studies, or African-Americans and Black studies, or socialists and socialism for communists and Jews...that's the comparison to be made.

Politicians who forbid the teaching and study of legitimate academic fields of study are authoritarians. [/quote]

Our democracy is predicated on a marketplace of ideas. Even ideas of hate like calling migrants "insects" or using the term "woke" as a placeholder for the N-word. When the state, in this case Governor DiSantis, limits that speech, it is a move towards authoritarianism.

The PP undertands that, the DiSantis supporters clearly don't. And then you ask, why do we need "liberal arts" and "humanities"? Because history is important.[/quote]
