Florida officials have given DeSantis and his allies a new way to attack women's studies
Florida Republicans may have contrived a new method of targeting lesson plans they don’t like.
Amid his obsessive war on so-called wokeness in schools (i.e., learning plans that acknowledge inequality and the humanity of racial minorities and LGBTQ people), Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has repeatedly taken potshots at students who get degrees — particularly, liberal arts degrees — in fields he has suggested are fruitless.
That was the impetus for this attempt at comedy, in which he mocked people for majoring in “zombie studies,” and this quote telling people to “go to Berkeley” if they want to study “gender ideology.”
Last week, the Florida Phoenix reported on a new pilot program approved by the state’s Board of Governors, the body that oversees Florida’s colleges and universities, to conduct an evaluation of a select group of five undergraduate programs related to the “operational costs, student outcomes, and return on investment (ROI) of each program.” According to a recent request for proposals, the board seeks a vendor to evaluate computer science, civil engineering, finance, nursing and women/gender studies programs at various Florida schools.

It was just yesterday that I was told that there is to much Florida bashing going on here and that Florida is such a lovely State to live in and it's not all about politics.
I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. Florida is a shit stain on America, we have one of the worst State Governments in the Union.
I will be relentless when it comes all the ilk of Florida. That you can take to the bank.
