To be precise, not illegal to own; just illegal to teach 😭
Wild to me that the Times hasn’t covered this. It affects every campus in the state, including community colleges!
Good to see the Harper crowd going crazy over this. The Atlantic and NYT are blowing up over this, right…. right?
❤️
Reread the first paragraph. Again, pedantry. You've repeatedly asserted *that* your corrections matter to the argument; you have yet to demonstrate how.
🏆
Why does your first point matter here? Pedantry aside, yes, the BOG always has a faculty rep. But none of the appointed members of the BOG have a background in education, or even education administration. So what’s your point?
Of course – literally what I say in the piece, no?
1) Absolutely. But that's not the same as Board members themselves being familiar with academia.
2) Serious Q: Have you ever witnessed a public comment impacting BOG vote outcomes?
Florida’s Board of Governors is made up of “political appointees from the business world, from insurance executives to roofing contractors, who are dictating how professors must teach their courses and even providing state-created textbooks for doing so.”

Really excited to run Nazanin in @journalspectre.bsky.social
This is what CNN is publishing even before the Ellisons come in
Omg
Of course. I certainly understand that not everyone is in a position to do this! Thanks for laying the foundation…
"Defund the police" only lacks specificity to liberals who chanted it as a slogan in 2020 but didn't really mean it
More anticipatory compliance at Florida State. Kudos to @annaposbergh.bsky.social for choosing professional ethics over thinly veiled bigotry
FL’s state legislature is currently working to pass SB 1296, which would require a majority of workers in a bargaining unit — not a majority of voters, but majority of workers— to vote yes.
Imagine if FL’s state elections proceeded this way. Not a single member of the senate would win a seat!

The webinar we organized through @unitedfacultyfl.bsky.social on Florida mandating censored, state-created textbooks on sociology faculty is now available for viewing – featuring folks from around the state, as well as former @asanews.bsky.social presidents Ruth Milkman and Aldon Morris
This is an important round-up of Red States' going after higher education from @perrybaconjr.bsky.social featuring my recent interview with @grundrza.bsky.social on censorship in Florida.
Not only is that something annoying that liberals like to shout on social media, but it's also individualistic and unstrategic. Don't flee; fight it!
And a Hillsdale PhD at that
The person behind this was recommended to DeSantis by Larry Arnn so yes
It’s an online open-source textbook
