Although the general education classes like psychology and sociology are annoying, they're all essential knowledge for being an educated human being. It's a shame Florida wants their population to be ignorant conservatives.

You know the one thing I will say out of all this, is that if Republicans find sociology so threatening, it as a field must be doing something right.

Could this result in accreditation being pulled, which could make federal student financial assistance unavailable?

Well, as a sociology teacher working with psychologists in my current research I get why they decide this.

Politicians like them can't rule over people even slighty aware of how political discourse and mass manipulation operate.

Nobody is going to respect any kind of degree from these universities.

Why would you pay to go to school where your credentials will mean Jack shit to anyone?

What a joke.

Can we stop pretending we’re shocked? Please? Not in a resigned way, not like we’re just gonna let this new garbage happen. But let’s stop pretending Florida and Texas are normal. Like, at all.

And by “us” of course I’m referring to the corporate news media. Seriously, stop building up fascism. Kthx.

So in 10 years I’m gonna start asking job applicants where they went to high school… and I won’t hire Floridians, because I know they are uneducated.

US's biggest problem IMO is undereducation. Lots of people seems to lack basic intellectual auto-defense skill. It's been a problem for a long time, but given how easy AI makes it to create disinformation, the shit will eventually hit the fan and even the GOP will be beging for a minimal education cursus to fix the mess they created.

Do.. do they understand that sociology is at best tangentially connected to socialism?

“the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”

For those wondering, this is the definition of “woke” by Rhonda Sandtits lead counsel.

Being “anti-woke” is a dog whistle for racism, sexism, xenophobia and bigotry.

Every Florida college ought to immediately lose its accreditation because of this.

It's interesting how conservatives are using the power of the state to mold the population to their liking.

@MicroWave
Remember when #Republicans were all about "the less government in your life, the better"?

They used to say things like "the government that governs least, governs best" and "You can't legislate morality."

Now they want to decide what books you can read & which bathroom you can use.

Florida seriously losing its luster these days. Used to visit the state for vacations. Can't imagine spending a dime there anymore.

DeSantis has to be a marketing major. The dude is the ultimate panderer. He understands the people of his state and shifts every movement towards their appeasement. All except the state’s populace. He understands the county count for votes and says to himself fuck the cities and the people in favor of the rednecks and MAGA-otts.

Anti-communism warnings to the Cubans and Venezuelans and you win the south. Pro-KKK and you win the north. Some Werther’s caramels and you win the center.

Before you think it, I don’t think he’s a good person. I think he’s an absolute shithead. I just applaud the stupidity of where my parents live.

(Fun fact, I had sane parents….until they moved to Florida, now we barely on speaking terms)

Every school in Florida losing their accreditation over this would be a dream come true! Come on Ronny boy, sink that ship!

@MicroWave As someone with a Masters Degree in Sociology I can tell you this is only part of the NAZI's intent to make us into a full blown Hitler Regime with a hint of Putinism.

This is dystopian, that states prohibited academic fields. Next woman won't be allowed in school. Florida is the new Afghanistan.

I really, really wanted to move to Florida. It was my dream. I finally adulted, quit drinking, quit smoking, got my shit together. Now, I'm in a position where I could move but there's no way in hell I'd even go back there on vacation now. They've ruined the state, ruined my dream.

The party of small government.

Gonna be real fun when pilots from FL decide they’re gonna let Jesus take the wheel. Maybe better than MCAS 🤷‍♂️

What the fuck Florida?

He doesn't care. He really doesn't care.
