Ron DeSantis condemned as Florida removes sociology as core college class Board of education replaces course at 12 public universities with own US history curriculum, in latest ‘anti-woke’ attack

As I've shared with my friends in the social sciences and to the professionals whose livelihoods are in jeopardy, I share a lesson from my own field: building common knowledge is a key step to building common power. Do so aggressively, in unison, it is worth it!
