‘Hostile takeover’: the tiny Florida university targeted by Ron DeSantis

Governor’s latest shot in his war on woke is the shock appointment of conservative trustees to progressive New College
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

DeathSantis' latest target is a tiny, 650-student college that does a lot of things progressive:

González also really liked the fact that instead of giving students a grade, faculty members produce detailed evaluations in writing of each student under their supervision. “It was so dynamically better than any other situation I could have encountered,” said the 23-year-old survivor of the Parkland school shooting, which killed three staff members and 14 students. “New College is such a transparently trans and queer school, and that’s one of the reasons why DeSantis decided to stage this hostile takeover.”

While I don't agree with the lack of grades, DeathSantis has no business attacking this tiny school for doing what they want to do. If righties want a right-wing safe space, they can go elsewhere. Such places already exist.

I'm sure our resident righties will tell us that this is an example of "limited government." :rolleyes:
 
Oh, there's no doubt that DeSantis is a little dictator in FL. That's one of many reasons he won't go any father in politics than the governor of FL unless you count possibly being a senator one day.

It's a public college, controlled by the state, and DeSantis is the governor. You want state control, well there you go.

Such an institution wouldn't even exist under "limited government".

You do not want any state supported colleges?

You hate limited government, academic freedom, or both.

Projection. When should the book burnings start?

I don't know, why don't you ask the idiot progressive college students who loathe the idea of free speech:

Oh that's right, your boy DeSantis wants to censor books in the classroom too. First Amendment, my ass. :rolleyes:

Then they can pay for them voluntarily, but leave the rest of us alone.

Yep, having a situation where only the rich can afford college is a really fantastic idea.

Srew the poor and the American dream of getting out of poverty through hard work at school to get better jobs.

Many GOP Congressmen went to ivy league schools. If your parents are not rich, the GOP does not care about you.

I agree, it does.

But "if the government doesn't provide it, then it won't be provided" doesn't work with education.

The market already provides it. Anyone with an internet connection can become highly educated in just about any subject for free.

I realize that's an anti-MAGA position, but there it is.

It's not "anti-maga", since Trump would probably agree with you.

So you'd be OK with free internet and computers for all, provided by the government?

Trump loves the uneducated. He's given his word on that.
