Professors from across the country have long been lured to Florida’s public colleges and universities, with the educators attracted to the research opportunities, student bodies, and the warm weather.
But for a swath of liberal-leaning professors, many of them holding highly coveted tenured positions, they’ve felt increasingly out of place in the Sunshine State. And some of them are pointing to the conservative administration of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis as the reason for their departures, according to The New York Times.
DeSantis, who was elected to the governorship in 2018 and was easily reelected last fall, has over the course of his tenure worked to put a conservative imprint on a state where moderation was once a driving force in state politics. In recent years, DeSantis has railed against the current process by which tenure is awarded, and with a largely compliant GOP-controlled legislature, he’s imposed conservative education reforms across the state.
The conclusion is pretty clear in your comment: that liberals are uneducated. I’m inverting your logic to test if that holds and the conclusion there is that conservatives are educated. There’s not much nuance here and I called you a moron because your post makes a pretty moronic conclusion.
Conservatives strike me as less educated if you want to know what I think, but that’s a really broad generalization and it’s not a fact at all and just my opinion. That’s the nuance that your post completely missed. There just wasn’t much in your comment to glean any nuance anyways, and in fact I believe you are doing exactly what you are complaining about with the the not my friend rhetoric with making such comments in the first place.
Don’t make such polarizing comments if you don’t like how people respond. If you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make change, as MJ said.
