9. The combination of legal ambiguity and the fear of harsh punishments creates an environment of self-censorship and fear. This maximizes the control that DeSantis and his allies can exert over these institutions. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
8. The bill would also dramatically weaken the tenure system, the bulwark of academic freedom in higher ed, allowing a politically-controlled board of trustees to "initiate a post-tenure review of a faculty member at any time." https://t.co/cr1lN38N1b — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. The proposal would also centralize the hiring of faculty, giving DeSantis' political appointees total control DeSantis' is appointing people like right-wing activist @realchrisrufo (who lives in Washington State) Rufo calls himself a "soldier in DeSantis' army" — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. @PENamerica calls DeSantis' proposal "the most draconian and censorious restrictions on public colleges and universities in the country." @TheFIREorg says its "laden with unconstitutional provisions hostile to freedom of expression and academic freedom." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. Notably, none of these terms, which would constrain every class and activity on campus, are defined by the legislation. The ambiguity is a feature, not a bug Ambiguity + fear = control https://t.co/cr1lN38N1b — PolitiTweet.org

4. Further, under the bill, general education courses at public universities and colleges must define "American history" as "based on universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence." These courses can not include "a curriculum that teaches identity politics." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. DeSantis' ban on gender studies is part of a sweeping set of restrictions on higher education Also prohibited: the expenditure of any funds "to promote, support, or maintain any programs " that "espouse diversity, equity, or inclusion" or "Critical Race Theory rhetoric." — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@RonDeSantisFL 2. "We don't want students to go through at taxpayer expense and graduate with a degree in zombie studies," DeSantis said. DeSantis claimed his proposal to ban gender studies was part of an effort to protect "intellectual freedom in higher education" https://t.co/cr1lN38N1b — PolitiTweet.org

1. More than 170 students have chosen to minor in Women's and Gender Studies at the University of Central Florida. Under new legislation championed by @RonDeSantisFL the program — and similar programs at other public colleges and universities in Florida — would be banned. https://t.co/ry8p1naNqI — PolitiTweet.org

Musk also agreed with a tweet saying there is an “element of truth” in Adams’ racist rant This is not subtle stuff And it comes after restoring the accounts of numerous neo-Nazis and white supremicists — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Scott Adams posted a viciously racist rant calling Black people a “hate group” and advising whites to stay away from them As a result, newspapers dropped Adam’s comic, Dilbert Elon Musk responded by saying the media is racist against white people https://t.co/hfCdq0a5f6 — PolitiTweet.org

To DeSantis, "intellectual freedom" is the freedom to learn about things that DeSantis thinks are important. Everything else will be defunded or banned. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
Ron DeSantis says he supports "intellectual freedom in higher education" To prove it, he is championing a bill that would CATEGORICALLY BAN SEVERAL MAJOR AREAS OF ACADEMIC STUDY at Florida college and universities I wish this were a joke — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
7. Freedom is not just another word for banning ideas — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
6. BTW, I don't think Christianity or capitalism should be banned from any school. I studied the Bible and economics in school, and I'm glad I did. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
5. You could argue, I suppose, that ideas that a lot of people end up ascribing to are "indoctrinating." But under that rubric, Christianity would be an indoctrinating idea. And capitalism. But neither of those ideas are banned. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
4. The idea that there is systemic racism in America is no more indoctrinating than the idea that there is no systemic racism. But only the former is banned in K-12 schools in Florida. Because DeSantis disagrees with it. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
3. In Florida, ideas that DeSantis disagrees with are labeled "indoctrinating" and banned. The term "indoctrinating" is designed to convince the public that there is something sinister about the ideas DeSantis doesn't like. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
@RonDeSantisFL 2. Indoctrination is a process used to convince someone of a theory or idea But it is not inherent to an idea itself. Ideas are not self-indoctrinating. — PolitiTweet.org
Judd Legum @JuddLegum
1. The laws and regulations championed by @RonDeSantisFL, frequently ban "indoctrinating" theories and ideas But what is an "indoctrinating" idea? https://t.co/e2cP3MoWnU — PolitiTweet.org

DeSantis keeps holding press conferences saying things like this are an”hoax” and a “fake narrative.” It’s not a hoax. As a result of DeSantis’ policies, millions of books are being taken off the shelves in Florida schools https://t.co/2ddEsz7nlF — PolitiTweet.org

In order to push back against "woke indoctrination" the Oklahoma State Board of Education ordered that the state standards for computer science classes replace the word "diverse" with "different" — PolitiTweet.org

"More than 3 years after 15 laundry workers first lodged their complaint w/NY AG Letitia James, the employees finally received the first checks for their owed salaries. The case is emblematic of what can be a long road 2 justice for victims of wage theft" https://t.co/aiI8ugXZFp — PolitiTweet.org
