Desantis today says if students want to study “niche majors” they can go to schools like Berkeley, but FL colleges are now going to solely focus on “the basics.”

@TheDiplomat13 @RonFilipkowski Public universities are heavily subsidized by the state so there is a compelling interest for the state to shape their curricula. The question is how best to do that and not whether to do that. IMHO, it should be left to legislative subcommittees working with the universities.

@urso_bruto @RonFilipkowski Students pay thousands per credit hour to take courses that not only educate and prepare them for their chosen careers, but also to expand their knowledge and capacity for critical thinking. He doesn’t care about student loans, he cares about silencing the minorities.

@TheDiplomat13 @RonFilipkowski College students are also mostly adults. Adults who supposedly are old enough to make life decisions, except in FL.

@j080476 @RonFilipkowski This part. First, he has limited what kids will be exposed to in K-12 and now he’s trying to extend that to the college years? My heart breaks for today’s kids.

@TheDiplomat13 @RonFilipkowski Can’t wait until this is over 🙄

@TheDiplomat13 @RonFilipkowski So what if kids have classes he doesn’t like? It is a little dictator. Wow.

@TheDiplomat13 @RonFilipkowski College is a joke. I have 5 degrees that are getting used. Employers don't even care that you're college educated unless you're going into a career like the medical field...attorney...etc.
