For academia, this is an extremely bad occurrence.

RT @donmoyn@twitter.com

Laws passed in Florida are now just for show: they are absolutely censoring academic speech.

The only Black professor in a sociology dept at UCF cancelled his classes on race rather than risk being fired.

@rerutled This is one of the many horrible things DeSantis accomplished in Florida. He has censored what Professors can teach in Universities, to promote his white superiority agenda. Professors go along with it, rather than get fired.

The young college seekers I know have eliminated Florida Universities from their consideration. WE CAN NOT ALLOW DESANTIS TO BE PRESIDENT, EVER!

I believe having college seekers from outside of Florida eliminating Florida universities from their consideration is part of the goal. He's implementing a curriculum in K-12 that will eventually eliminate many of them from seeking accredited colleges, so by then changing the curriculum in Florida universities those in-state kids will have a continuous curriculum from K through college that never exposes them to things he doesn't want them to be exposed to.

It's all towards the goal of having a Florida society that's only received Hillsdale approved educational materials.
