Is that really the way it is?

I will defer to Curtis on this.

For my college age children, they could discuss murdering me for all I care. That wouldn't be true for k1-12 children, however. I would, though, still have an issue with paying tuition knowing that a bunch of worthless leeches in DEI/CRT bureaucracies are siphoning off a portion of that money that could be going to educating my children.

You guys have a very big government idea of education. You must really trust the government as you grow it and give it more power. What't the worst that could happen, right?

For a different perspective, there are shared Student Union facilities that support a multitude of groups and clubs. Suppose, for example, a building (funded from university overhead / general fund) was used 50% for secular fraternity/sorority activities, 25% for Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and 25% for LGBTQ+++ organizations. Would Desantis' proposal basically cut the last 25% of funding that maintains the facility, or deny the LGBTQ+ organizations free (taxpayer-funded) use of it? Same for the other groups?

(Personally I would defund the fraternities and sororities. Greek = anti-American! )

My son was confronted while crossing the campus between classes and was told he would go to hell if he didn't turn to Jesus.

He said, 'leave me alone,' and then walked off.

My experience at UF was a conservative slanted one, in the environmental studies program.
We were trained to consult on behalf of the economic interests.
Where are these alleged liberal institutions, so I can send my kids?

State monitoring sites are pulled when the customer no longer pays. I see this firsthand.

We had that at FSU, but it tended to attract an amused crowd of secular hecklers. Always seemed to be during finals week, almost like the Uni did it so we could blow off some steam laughing at those clowns.

"God made Adam and Eve!!!! Not Adam and STEVE!!!!"

Still cracks me up.

A lot of mindless babble filling up this thread, as usual. Back to the topic. Good job, DeSantis. Of course, more people from shithole states be a coming.

Yeah, stupid thread to start with. I'm out to eat some oysters, drink some beer, and plot the revolution.
