  "Trendy ideologies?" Like white supremacy? That's pretty trendy these days.
context: I wonder if all Governors have enough spare time to tackle the 'latest trends'.  
  'They can be so dangerous!' >
  
  He should eat a tide pod >
  
  Hold on. DeSantis is trying to prove how great he is…
  He should should eat 10 Tide Pods to prove it. >
  
  Isn't "anti-wokeness" a trendy ideology? I sure don't remember hearing about it growing up... >
  
  It’s only anti-wokeness if it comes from a specific region in Florida. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling bigotry.
  EDIT: Thank you for the award, kind Redditor! >
  
  Controlling what people are allowed to think or learn is textbook fascism. >
  
  Not Florida textbooks. >
  
  Turning Florida into a Dystopian Nightmare one day at a time. >
  
  Been that way since Rick Scott took office. >
  
  "Trendy ideologies" like empathy and freedom. >
  
  And tracking down “trendy ideologies” definitely will include recent explosions in anti-vax social media and election fraud conspiracy theories, right? /s >
  
  Regressives >
  
  How dare you teach my children my old views are wrong >
  
  What? Sorry. Don't follow you on this. Can you elaborate? What old views did you hold that are wrong? >
  
  DeSanctimonious’ anti-woke agenda and anti-CRT initiatives >
  
  Oh, gotcha. I thought you were saying you used to be a socialist or something. I was confused. Thanks for clarifying. >
  
  What a piece of garbage. >
  
  Good idea. Everyone knows most hurricanes that destroy Florida come from dialogues at southeastern universities. >
  
  Palm beach needs 24/7 water pumps otherwise it will be underwater, clearly the problem here is peoples opinions >
  
  
  One of his main targets has been schools, which he says teach values of diversity, equal treatment and inclusion that he derides as woke.
  
  Speaking of 'trendy', I thought the word 'woke' would be overused and worn to death soon, and every day I'm proven wrong. >
  
  I’ve never heard anyone in the left use it.  The only people that use it are the GOP and Putin.  Literally Putin.  Guess who put the word woke AND cancelled in their vocabulary.  
  It’s literally Russian propaganda. >
  
  Very early on, it was used as a compliment on the left. It was quickly hijacked by the right to identify the opposition. >
  
  By the time I figure out what Woke meant, it was already being corrupted. >
  
  Oh really?  Wow.  We made it to this problem on the list already?
  Let me real quick go look up what our government did to solve the housing crisis, urban sprawl, insurance and education. 
  Weird.  I couldn’t find any action on these topics. >
  
  He’s destroying New College. No need to make it more complicated than that. >
  
  
  an alternative to the diversity and inclusion of left-wing ideologies
  
  We're at the point where there is no quiet part anymore.
  Inclusion is bad.  Straight, white, Christians need their safe space, and the state of Florida is here to provide it at the expense of one of the most interesting and unique schools in the country.  
  This is your presumptive candidate for President of the United States of America in 2024 everyone.  Jesus fucking Christ. >
  
  ~~Ron DeSantis~~ Pope Urban VIII: And we must ensure that our institutions of higher learning are focused on academic excellence and the pursuit of truth, not the imposition of trendy ideologies.
  Galileo: ??? >
  
  Doesn't the constitution stop DeSantis attack on free speech? Is it because they are public universities that he is allowed to conduct the constant attacks on curriculum? >
  
  It really depends. 
  The Constitution probably doesn’t stop him from placing the people he wants on the boards of these institutions. 
  The Constitution probably also won’t stop those boards from making decisions about which departments or specialties to cut.
  The Constitution may stop them from firing specific professors due to their scholarship or things they teach in classes. But that is where they’ll push. The Constitution provides some protection for public educators in higher education, but it’s not strong or very clear, and it’s very likely that DeSantis and others following his example will try to argue that it doesn’t protect them at all. 
  Like we saw with many of the things Trump did, these fascists are planning to just do what they want, and leave it up to the people affected to sue and try to win court cases pushing the decisions back. That’s the strategy Trump used for the Muslim ban and much of his immigration “policy.” >
  
  He is taking notes from countries like Iran and Afghanistan how they handle modern education >
  
  It’s as simple as educated people don’t vote Republican. Destroy education, win! >
  
  Primitive Republicans only allow backwards thinking. >
  
  DeSantis would have imprisoned Galileo for his trendy ideology. >
  
  trendy ideologies = academic strongholds that have been the standard of sociology and anthropology for 50+ years >
  
  Soo...free speech.  Basically hes targeting free speech. >
  
  Read “Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right” if you’re interested in this kind of thing. Essentially giant slush fund nonprofits are used to fund donations to universities with the intent of upending “institutional liberalism”. It’s very interesting >
  
  I got my Florida homeowners insurance bill and statement,  prices going up and companies that offer it leaving state.   But those drag queens and liberal art colleges are the problem. >
  
  Brain drain is real. None one will want to stay, end up mad max style and have the federal government bail you out >
  
  Florida Man is putting common sense to sleep as he fights whatever he deems woke >
  
  “ In an interview, Rufo says he's helped advise Governor DeSantis on educational issues, including on how to reshape colleges and universities to better represent conservative values. That's what he hopes to do at New College.”
  Tihs part of the article is too funny. The party that embraces Trump, Gaetz, Santos wants to teach values? >
  
  
  RUFO: I think it's going to be a kind of oasis or a beacon of hope for 
  conservative families in Florida who want an alternative to the 
  diversity and inclusion of left-wing ideologies that have saturated so 
  much of higher education.
  
  Oh no not diversity and inclusion how will anyone ever learn anything if there are also brown people in the same room? And inclusion? My god how dare these monsters include people that pay tuition in the lessons. ^(/s)
  I'd say that's saying the quiet part out loud but they were never quiet about it. >
  
  Title reads like a war on the young. 
  
  A small, public university in Florida is at the center of a political storm involving students, faculty and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis, a likely 2024 presidential candidate, has been working to reshape education in Florida. NPR's Greg Allen reports he now wants to transform a liberal arts university, the New College, into one modeled on conservative principles.
  
  Churches are no longer enough? >
  
  DeSantis has Napoleon syndrome. Short guy, small... um hands... just like Napoleon. >
  
  Napoleon was average height the idea he was short is that they used the French units 
  Three French sources—his valet Constant, General Gourgaud, and his personal physician Francesco Antommarchi—said that Napoleon's height was just over '5 pieds 2 pouces' (5'2”). Applying the French measurements of the time, that equals around 1.69 meters, or just over 5'5”.Nov >
  
  With the way we’re destroying education, ‘ideologies’ may be too big a word for people to understand.
  He’ll have to dumb it down if he wants his apocalypse. >
  
  If you have the wrong ideology, you’ll get sent to the new desantis reeducation camp >
  
  THE parable of talents by Octavia butler had1 something similar and it is so freaking scary because shit is happening now. >
  
  Are the people of Florida as limited in intelligence as they appear to be for keeping Hitler in office?  We use to be concerned with being globally competitive in education.  This man has one goal to dummy down our youth.  Not to mention grooming youth with fascist ideals. >
  
  Dude had the narrowest of margins, and FL has been awash in political ads that outright lie to voters. 
  Scaremongering, dog whistles, district maps that were ruled illegal but still used... This dude's only hope for a political future is to mislead enough people into thinking a) he's hurting the right people and b) the other guys are anti-American. 
  FFS he removed an elected official from office for disagreeing with him. It's not legal, of course, but he can scare and bully people for headlines and then when it all shakes out it's not news anymore.
  Florida has been under intense false ad nonsense. This is more campaign fodder for his future presidential hopes. >
  
  Isn't Florida sinking? Does that state have a future? >
  
  DeSantis sounds more and more like Putin >
  
  “Will of the people” amirite? >
  
  DeSantis is a fucking chode. >
  
  There are reasons I stay away from Florida and the southeast in general. I want nothing to do with this kind of negativity. >
  
  Yeah like banning the use of the word, “field” a la USC. >
  
  He doesn’t understand irony, does he? >
  
  These people so don’t understand the first amendment >
  
  So, MAGA? >
  
  More help for struggling families I see. >
  
  Ahh, after winning teams at “The U” again. 🙌🏽 >
  
  So targeting freedom of expression now ??? Or still speech??? Ron You won’t win the presidency that way. >
  
  I hope he has the time to tackle some truly harmful "trendy ideologies": All religions and conservatism.
