    The Florida Board of Governors approved new rules that remove
    sociology from general education core course options and
    prohibit diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) spending at
    the state's public universities and colleges.

    The ruling happened Wednesday.

    . . .

    The "DEI" - that's just pure Wokie agi-prop dressed up
    in official clothing.

    "Sociology" ... in THEORY it CAN be a sort of soft
    science - an organized way of studying past and
    current human cultures. Alas it's almost NEVER been
    that - instead heavily biased to trash 'western'
    culture by further-left profs. The "science" is
    not a science, just dressed-up in a lab coat to
    give it the APPEARANCE.

    Note that 'sociology' is not BANNED ... it just
    can't be a required part of the core curric ...
    ie you don't HAVE to take it to graduate. This
    seem a fair compromise and limits propaganda
    issues.

    Expect the further-left to try and sneak their
    stuff into OTHER courses now however ... their
    strategy is relentless pressure. Gotta keep
    the further-RIGHT's stuff under control too.
    "Education" and political extremes are rather
    contradictory.

    Florida/DeSantis get a lot of left-wing shit
    for "banning" letter-people books from public
    schools. Again though, the books are NOT actually
    "banned" as in "you will get arrested for selling
    them". Anybody can buy them at a bookstore or
    Amazon or whatever. The state just won't fund
    "free" copies in public school libraries. The
    letter-people ARE part of the "public", but they
    have lately become a "more-equal" segment whose
    wishes over-ride everyone elses.
