If this did take off...I could see twenty states signing up over the next year. But the question is...as you lay-off these professors, where can they go next? It’s not like the blue-states can quickly pick them up and give them future employment.
To: zeestephen
More states need to push in this same direction.

“It is no exaggeration to say that the DeSantis administration represents an existential threat to higher education indoctrination in the state of Florida,”
Fixed it. Now it's a good thing IMO.

"It’s not like the blue-states can quickly pick them up and give them future employment."There is always Starbucks, working for their grads. Or they could learn to code?
Alternately, they could try to start a Woke business, with a proper Socialist foundation. Every employee could be precisely equal, as co-owners, and their customers could pay just what the labor is worth. Show how a PHD in PolySci Theory translates into a wildly successful lawn care business.

The tenure system must be abolished. It gives the crazy far left academics protection to act crazy and anti American without fear of consequences.
To: pepsionice
They can go get real jobs.

Problem is, if they could hold a real job, they’d have one and not be a “professor”

Just stop funding them with government money.
That’s the only way they can afford to keep the crap degrees and seditious coursework.
