With Trump resurrected from the political crucifixion’s cross and survived an assassin’s bullet that many of us believe is an act of God – we have a fun controversy brewing in DeSantis’ sunshine state about education.
DeSantis signed SB 266 in 2023, which prohibits universities from expending state or federal funds to promote, support, or maintain any programs or campus activities that relate to diversity, equity and inclusion got this response from a very woke professor:
“I chose to pursue a career in education to engage students in critical thinking, adaptability and global competence — skills that are essential to success and societal contribution,” said Jeniah Jones, a Florida State College at Jacksonville professor. “Restrictions on diversity, equity and inclusion in the curriculum … undermine this mission by narrowing students’ understanding of the world and their role in it.”
I’m sure the good prof doesn’t see the inherent racism in DEI or affirmative action – but those of us who still believe in merit do. I need only point to the DEI millions spent in LA for unqualified gay women of color to run their fire department as the city went up in flames – as the mayor is busy in Ghana – and over $17 million was cut from the budget for fire fighting. Yes, DEI can ruin your life – especially if you owned one of the thousand of homes that might have been saved if LA hired fire fighters based on merit and didn’t cut the budget to make room for of DEI political incompetents.
Schools controlled by the Dem Teacher’s Unions have dumbed down the curriculum in most states and focuses on DEI rather than the two key subjects that actually get you into college and actually mean something when you go to work in the real world – Math and English. Period. Yes, Science is nice to have for the smart guys – but if you spend half of your curriculum on soft social studies glorifying people of color – forgetting about those evil white guys who actually founded the country – it’s a waste of time – and yes, if the curriculum has actual history rather than revised woke History I’d like to see that – Instead they’re denigrating Columbus. Poor guy – he discovered America – but his holiday’s been replaced by indigenous people’s day – whatever that is?
Someone commented on Yahoo:
History is not “DEI” as defined by republicans.
I replied:
DEI is not history – it’s woke her-story
But a real wise ass chimed in correctly after Trump’s second term – no DEI IS history!
