Anyone here going to school in Florida or know anyone who is? I'd be very interested to know what questions are included in this survey. |

I swear….I lived through the ‘60s and saw a myriad of GOOD PEOPLE beaten, jailed, shot dead. We marched and demonstrated against the war, voting discrimination, segregation and more.
I NEVER imagined in my lifetime I would live to see anything like what has unfolded in the last 4+ years. And now—THIS. I’d love to think the current generation has the will and strength to beat back this kind of “mind control” but—I honestly don’t know. Some days I’m hopeful; other days I’m truly in despair. Anybody else feel even remotely this way…? |
He went to Yale, surprisingly, not a very long time ago. Does he think that somehow he magically eluded this indoctrination?

You can tell he doesn't believe any of it, because he talks out of both sides of his mouth.

Do any of you live in Florida?

Unnecessary fear, loathing and worry about 'indoctrinations' which do not exist can easily be promoted to some constituants by political powers in situations like this. Universities not only require persons to present and explain their different points of view, but to defend them. It's part of the intellectual process to do so. A politician labeling mind-broadening discussions and inquiries as indoctrinations is misguiding constituents and mislabeling what education is and does. Maybe all 'liberals' currently employed and educated at these Florida schools need to omit answering these surveys, thereby skewing the answers toward the conservative side and leaving Florida politicians happier at the survey results. |

I wonder if part of what they're aiming for is determining which schools are more conservative so as to focus on those areas during elections - sending people to push voter registrations, placing additional manned ballot drop boxes on and near those campuses, etc. Also, I just came across this statement to the Kentucky interim Joint Committee on Education by Commissioner Jason E. Glass. https://www.kentuckyteacher.org/news...9_2zlhhcviTfis Not only did he say why Kentucky should not move forward with laws similar to those currently being passed in other states (to ban CRT), but he briefly explained the potential repercussions, stood up for the educators in his state, and provided a solution and compromise. Bravo! |

I miss the days of professors not trying to tell me how to think and let me figure out things on my own. Now, neutral, moderate, or slightly conservative opinions are not allowed. My bro in law did get punished when at uni for a paper he wrote that the professor didn't like due to point of view. He took it to the department and won.

My youngest sons have had to deal with the professors not liking their opinions. Apparently. one professor downgraded several students' papers for this and there was a protest to the dean. The professor lost.
