Universities may lose funding if staff and students' beliefs do not satisfy Florida's GOP-run legislature

Bishop also told the paper he "certainly hopes" the effort will expand into the K-12 system over time.

"I think the problem isn't just in higher ed. The truth of the matter is that kids are being indoctrinated from an early age," he said.

"I think that those of us who have diverse thinking and look at both sides of the issue, see that the way the cards are stacked in the education system, is toward the left and toward the liberal ideology and also secularism — and those were not the values that our country was founded on. Those are the values that we need to get our country back to."

Emphasis mine

    This is just a ploy to remove funding from public schools right? Like yeah it's framed in this owning the libs way, but thats just a way to get more people on board in destroying public education.

      It's to make DeSantis look better for his 2024 run. Florida is also full of the worst kinds of rich Boomers and now has a bunch of Gen X/early Millennial assholes who moved down there so they could get Covid at Cheesecake Factory and not pay any tax bro. All of the above love this shit.

      The recent ideological crackdown sounds really obnoxious if this is your first rodeo, but all of this shit happened back in the Clinton, Bush and Obama years too. It's reached the point where the people complaining about their kids being indoctrinated were also "indoctrinated" according to the right-wing media of the 90s/2000s!
