The States: Where We Wish Texas Would Secede Already

Weird career choice for a technocrat. He has the personality of an econometrics professor. I don't think the boobgeoisie is going to want to have a beer with him.

Nor he with them, so its all good.

But wait, there's more.

Yeah when I posted my article no one was reporting the throat slashing except The Daily Mail so I left out comment on that ;^)

I agree with Scooby on Steele he is good people but he does have some weird blind spots. I guess racism and fascism is fine when it is only used for fundraising from morons...when it is your actual platform it is time to GTFO.

This isn't true. Perez actually enjoys the company of the Small Brains. He's not like me at all.

Not every intellectual is a snob. I spoil you.

Throat slashing? Christ sounds like episode of Justified

Florida: Derp

Public universities in Florida will be required to survey both faculty and students on their political beliefs and viewpoints, with the institutions at risk of losing their funding if the responses are not satisfactory to the state's Republican-led legislature.

The unprecedented project, which was tucked into a law signed Tuesday by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, is part of a long-running, nationwide right-wing push to promote "intellectual diversity" on campuses — though worries over a lack of details on the survey's privacy protections, and questions over what the results may ultimately be used for, hover over the venture.

Based on the bill's language, survey responses will not necessarily be anonymous — sparking worries among many professors and other university staff that they may be targeted, held back in their careers or even fired for their beliefs.

According to the bill's sponsor, state Sen. Ray Rodrigues, faculty will not be promoted or fired based on their responses, but, as The Tampa Bay Times reported Tuesday, the bill itself does not back up those claims.

Though the bill does not specify what the survey results will be used for, both DeSantis and Rodrigues suggested that the state could institute budget cuts if university students and staff do not respond in a satisfactory manner.

"That's not worth tax dollars and that's not something that we're going to be supporting moving forward," DeSantis said.

When pressed by reporters, the governor did not offer any specific examples of repression and discrimination faced by conservative students, simply saying that he knows "a lot of parents" who worry about their children being "indoctrinated" on campus.

Florida Senate President Wilton Simpson was more pointed in his criticism Tuesday at a meeting of the state university system's Board of Governors, calling the institutions "socialism factories" — again without much detail on what makes the schools so left-wing.

I am sure we are all just pearl clutching though...

It's unconstitutional and will be tossed in court. They know that, so it's raw meat for the base to generate cheap press. They will find other excuses to slash the education budgets without this garbage (as if Florida hasn't already slashed their education budgets enough, based on the average IQ down there).

There is no way any of these bumpkins could afford Burning Man.

I'm a centrist and I care a great deal about this. This law is insane and pure fascism. I can't imagine it will past constitutional challenges, but either way I truly have no idea what happened to the self-described party of the constitution.

Plus a chance to fulminate about the activist judges legislating from the bench when they inevitably strike down "the will of the people." Win-win-win, as far as the derps are concerned.
