Florida Introduces “Sanitized” Sociology Textbook The volume was created after a state review found that existing course materials violated a law prohibiting general education courses from teaching about systemic inequality. So far, at least two univ...

“The state-approved version doesn’t include chapters on media and technology, global inequality, race and ethnicity, social stratification, or gender, sex and sexuality.”

Just horrifying. All faculty should refuse to use this.

Air Force Academy cancels lecture after discovering speaker disparaged Trump Air Force Academy officials have canceled an annual fall lecture because the speaker, Paisley Rekdal, disparaged President Donald Trump online, prompting a harsh critique from the donor, David Jannett...

Over the decades I have spoken at all of the service academies and War Colleges. They've all known I was "a critic" of many policies

This is a really, really ominous development

(AFAcad cancelling a speaker, in endowed-lecture series, because she has criticized Trump.)

1221/1250 From "Your ideas for change" Go to the projecta Stop wasting time on getting ideas from the general public rather than experts Look, most people haven't got a clue about how to run an incredibly complex organization like the NHS. Even less of them have any expertise in healthcare provision. Why are you wasting time, money and effort on an exercise like this? Speak to experts. Speak to people on the front line. Speak to academics who have actually put years of work into researching this. Heck, speak to other health services around the world who have good approaches. But what you don't need to do is sort through a million responses from people who think that "wokery" is ruining the NHS, or believe that if only everyone ate dandelions you could do away with ambulance sirens. Stop it. Just stop it.

By far the most sensible suggestion I've seen on the NHS Ideas For Change site from the 1250 contributions to date...
