Good! The professors looking to leave are the ones who teach "Racial Equity", "Gender Studies" and other related topics. I can't wait for them to leave. And neither can the majority of Floridians. The irony here is that these people who want to part of the "Educating States" want to focus on stupid crap that has no place in "education".
Lessons from Florida: DeSantis vilifies minorities. Imagine what he’d do as president https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/editorials/article278492309.html
He begged Biden for a handout .... but as soon he got the 'yes' he decided to act toughguy to the cultists and not meet with the President. That's the schmuck DeCuntis for you.
Let's take a look at a typical DeSantis appointee... A Day in the Dictorial Life of the DeSantis Administration Cronyism, Misogyny, Conflicts of Interest, and Blind Loyalty https://www.levelman.com/a-day-in-the-life-in-the-desantis-administration/ Ron DeSantis wants to "Make America Florida." Here's a peek into how the Florida government operates and what to expect should Ron DeSantis become President. The state Legislature created the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (Florida Housing) 40 years ago to provide affordable housing opportunities for residents. Florida is amid an affordable housing crisis, and the Florida legislature has appropriated $711 million to the quasi-private corporation to address it. The executive director, Mike DiNapoli, was appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis instead of following the written hiring practices, including advertising the position, conducting interviews, and calling work references. DiNapoli never submitted a resume or filled out an application. His sole letter of recommendation came from DeSantis's chief of staff, James Uthmeier, who now heads the DeSantis election campaign. Mike DiNapoli, appointed in February of 2023, wasn't a big hit within Florida Housing. Employees told investigators he constantly made sexist comments, yelled at staff, commented about people's weight, and threatened to fire people. Inspector General Chris Hearst said, "The conduct is severe and pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive." Since his hire, ten percent of the Florida Housing workforce has either quit or been fired. DiNapoli ordered the chief financial officer to sell Disney bonds at a loss for a non-financial reason, violating the corporation's ethics policy because it was a "bad look" given the governor's ongoing legal battle with Disney. DiNapoli also sits on the First Housing Development Corp. of Florida board, which has contracts with the corporation. Three Florida Housing board lawyers said DiNapoli had a conflict of interest, but DiNapoli disagreed. He told the Inspector General it was a "gray line" and "an appearance of a conflict is not a conflict." DiNapoli was placed on paid administrative leave in July while the Inspector General completed his investigation. There were also concerns about DiNapoli's credit history, including bankruptcy and foreclosure, which might be viewed negatively by the Federal Housing Administration, which requires principal owners and corporate officers to be creditworthy individuals. In late August, Ron DeSantis reinstated DiNapoli without authority, a spokesman saying, "he found nothing to justify the placement of Mr. DiNapoli on administrative leave." An outside lawyer for Florida Housing found DeSantis had no power to reinstate anyone at the corporation that is outside of state government. Most of the Board was appointed by DeSantis. On Friday, August 8th, the inspector general released his report, and the Board voted to place DiNapoli on a second paid leave. Board member Meredith Ivey, a former DeSantis spokesperson now a deputy secretary of the Department of Commerce, blasted the report, saying she had yet to read it fully. The Board voted to prohibit employees who spoke to the Inspector General from being fired; Ivey voted against the measure. DeSantis spokesperson Jeremy Redfern criticized the second suspension and said the state would "explore every available tool to ensure proper management and oversight of the Board and its staff, including the Inspector General. It's clear to us that at least some members of this Board believe they can wield unchecked power to recklessly disparage a public official and tarnish his reputation without basic fairness and due process. The Board is clearly incapable of exercising prudent judgment." This is how Florida is run, more like a dictatorship than a democracy. Look for DeSantis to replace board members and the Inspector General rather than admit having made a poor choice in DiNapoli. This story will be continued.
Florida leads the nation in Covid deaths both raw and per-capita since April of 2021 when the Covid vaccine was readily available. Looks like they want to add to the total. Guess Ron DeSantis And His Hack Surgeon General Want More Needless COVID Deaths Idiots suggest Florida residents not get upcoming COVID booster. https://www.wonkette.com/p/guess-ron-desantis-and-his-hack-surgeon
Ya know.... It's like... what do you want DeSantis to do here? Send out a goon squad and clip these idiots? It's not his fault there's people like that out there. Right? I mean think about it. These idiots would exist regardless. If Marianne Williamson was a Republican, they'd be at her rally too. Can you not see this?
Any other reasonable governor — if neo-Nazis were holding rallies in their state nearly every weekend holding up signs saying this is “<Governor’s Name> Country” would get on the air and say loudly that these people do not represent me. But not DeSantis, he remains silent and apparently basks in the glow of their support. Keep in mind that DeSantis is quick enough to send in his goons to arrest people if he does not like a protest — for example if this was BLM they would all be locked up already in DeDantisLand.
