“I Hope DeSantis handles it better than Youngkin handled his education-indoctrination problems...”

DeSantis and the Florida legislature passed legislation to require reporting, and to uncover the problem.

If DeSantis is not taken out first, his plan to move against the DEI threat.

The first thing needed was to get the spotlight on the cancer.

“Amazing that this is happening under a president who just nine years ago won a Senate seat by campaigning as a Tea Party conservative.”

To be fair, the DEI was in place before Sasse got there. And the liberal cesspool at UF has been in place for decades.

It will take years to turn that ship around.

The liberal plan is to wait out Governor DeSantis and then after his term to have their way with weak Republicans in the legislature as they always have.

The challenge to conservatives is to find someone equal to DeSantis in 2026.

This is somewhat related to the Corporate Equality Index (CEI) and other indexes, e.g. Healthcare Equality Index, etc.

Corporations are chasing high CEI scores.

Unfortunately, seeing this from my alma mater does not surprise me one bit. The Faculty and admins at UF have been decidedly Leftist since at least the 60s. They will go for whatever the latest fad is on the Left.

The Students too lean left like Students everywhere.

The Alumni like myself are VASTLY more conservative than either though given how thoroughly the programming in higher education is now, I don’t know how much longer that will last.

Gov DeSantis and the Republican supermajority in Tally need to purge all the Universities in the state with ruthless abandon.

The whole structure is based on the assumption that whites have a moral obligation to put the welfare of “oppressed and marginalized groups” ahead of the wellbeing of themselves and their own loved ones.

What if we don’t?

What if we decide that the interests of those we love, and those who work to keep civilization going, are what we care about?
