@stevemur It was quite the showdown! But I'm glad we stuck up for open discourse. The event was peaceful, the faculty and students were respectful, and we established an open dialogue between trustees and the university community. We all left feeling more optimistic than when we arrived. — PolitiTweet.org

@cmvalentineb Meaning that she kept her actions a secret from Trustee Speir and me. — PolitiTweet.org

@monitoringbias Honestly, half the battle is just saying "no" and having the willpower to make it meaningful. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
I'm learning that much of the problem with our universities is weak leadership. Administrators do not have the courage to stand up to left-wing activists who mobilize grievance narratives and threaten violence. That stops now. We are establishing a new standard in Florida. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
FYI: Provost Sherman, featured in the video, failed to uphold the basic standards of university governance and free speech. After Trustee Speir and I decided to proceed, she secretly sent a campus-wide email attempting to cancel the event again. She will be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @hughhewitt: Polite. Firm. Bravo. Trustees run institutions not those below them on the org chart. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
Lastly, I want to thank New College Police, Sarasota Police Department, and Sarasota County Sheriff's Office for protecting us during the event. They mobilized dozens of officers, including SWAT, and provided excellent security. They are the guardians of free speech! — PolitiTweet.org

I've asked law enforcement to investigate the person calling himself "Jim Conefry." I hope that we can find out who sent the threat and that law enforcement takes all appropriate action. Shutting down the democratic process with threats of violence cannot be tolerated. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
We cannot allow those who threaten violence to shut down the democratic governance of our public institutions. We need to have the courage to stand up for open discourse. I appreciate all of the faculty, students, and staff who attended these conversations. Lots of common ground. — PolitiTweet.org

These are the threats received by the New College communications team, released to the public for the first time here. "SEE YOU ON WEDNESDAY ASSHOLE, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE A FLAK JACKET ON, YOU MOTHERFUCKIN MORON!" https://t.co/tvCbaQHgGA — PolitiTweet.org

Behind-the-scenes: the provost and president of New College attempted to shut down our conversation with faculty and students, citing a threat against Trustee Eddie Speir. But Speir and I insisted that we continue with the program—and establish a new standard for open discourse. https://t.co/XW23nimZM9 — PolitiTweet.org

@doukhobour That's true. Still, quite an improvement for WaPo! 😅 — PolitiTweet.org

Next week, I'll begin publishing a five-part investigative series on the DEI bureaucracies in Florida's public university system, which have been totally captured by left-wing racialist ideology. We've been collecting the documents—and they will shock you. — PolitiTweet.org

@pastors4txkids @loganwashburn76 @BetsyDeVos @Heritage @Hillsdale Yes, but my exact words in the speech are different than the "exact words" in your quotation. If you guys can't understand basic English, nobody should trust your ideas on educating kids. — PolitiTweet.org

@loganwashburn76 @pastors4txkids @BetsyDeVos @Heritage Not at all. They're inventing their own words. — PolitiTweet.org

@ConceptualJames You said there's "never an answer," I provided an answer, now you agree with that answer. Not sure what your criticism is, beyond a fear that the UN, BlackRock, and SEL contractors will somehow take control of everything, which, in my mind, isn't persuasive. — PolitiTweet.org

Randi Weingarten became the accidental hero of the school choice movement. Her decision to shut down schools, promote critical race theory, and antagonize parents created the political conditions for legislators to enact universal school choice. World-historical incompetence. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
@ConceptualJames On the budget side, universal school choice reduces cost to taxpayers, as the voucher is generally about half of the existing public school spend (~7k vs ~15k). Cost inflation on the private side is a potential concern, but might also lead to more options at lower taxpayer cost. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
@ConceptualJames New curriculum models are exploding. The Institute for Catholic Liberal Education, as one small example, now has hundreds of affiliated schools that practice classical pedagogy. No CRT, gender theory, etc. https://t.co/3nFjJln8Nq — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
@ConceptualJames Many conservative policy people have offered answers to this question and many legislators have taken them up: stop requiring ed degrees, breaking up the credentialing cartel, allowing veterans to teach, etc. https://t.co/TNqff8DLsF — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
@ConceptualJames Parents and children; private, religious, and classical schools; homeschoolers; education entrepreneurs. Families will have more power and can find schools that share their values. Schools will be more like other service businesses: lots of options, competitive market. — PolitiTweet.org

@sullydish They're pushing this exact ideology in 4,000 public schools now through "GSA clubs." Schools should absolutely create a welcoming place for gay and lesbian students, but pushing radical gender theory onto kids is wrong. https://t.co/XoF2WjzWaH — PolitiTweet.org

@FischerKing64 Whoops, dollars-and-cents ... but also dollars-and-sense, too 😅 — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
@FischerKing64 Yes, as we transition out of the artificial zero-interest rate economy, the practical dollars-and-sense argument will gain traction again. It's time to tighten down on fake jobs—and DEI jobs are the fakest of all. — PolitiTweet.org
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ @realchrisrufo
DEI departments are political bureaucracies that push a pernicious racialist ideology. They're also a complete waste of money. As the economy tightens, conservatives should make both the moral and economic case for abolishing them. — PolitiTweet.org
