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

Slavery was negotiable as long as we had indenture. The non negotiable part was the theft of Indian land.
what the fuuuuuuck
I am glad I'm no longer a dipshit florida teenager because there's a very strong chance that i'd've straight up told the reactionary florida government I'm a communist if this was a policy fifteen years ago
K-12??? hell I'd've probably registered socialist in the 4th grade
Yeah, what is the k-12 part?? Surely they mean for teaching staff? I'll be interested to see what comes from this.
"Your elementary school has unbalanced ideological tendencies. To receive funding, please hire an open white supremacist Christian theocrat to ensure ideological diversity."
Wonder how this plays out in court.
Literally feels like an adult's scheme to cancel recess from the cartoon Recess
"An unacceptably high proportion of Mrs. Jackson's kindergarten class reported agree or strongly agree to the statement 'sharing is caring', so we're cutting your funding. Sell your schoolyard to this car dealership so that you can afford to keep paying teachers."
Good analogy. Also, there's no way Mrs. Grotke would have been hired under this law.
I remember in 5th grade our teacher asked us whether we were Democrats or Republicans. Shits crazy, like how you gonna ask a kid about politics, knowing that if any of them knew what to say, it's from their parents' views? I didn't know anything about politics then, and foolishly went with what sounded like a focus on the "public" and making life better for people, and went with Republican. :agony-shivering:
I remember having mock elections in elementary school, and 4 or 5 kids got mad because they couldn't vote for the green party, and the teacher was super staunch that she wasn't adding Nader because he wasn't viable.
Then I got to watch a 4th grader try to shout down my liberal teacher and get detention
"liberal ideology and also secularism — and those were not the values that our country was founded on" I think somebody might wanna go and have a read of those enshrined founding fathers ideals
I remember being mad as fuck they made us read the federalist papers in highschool, but then when we got to the part where Hamilton was talking about how democracy had to be curtailed to prevent the poor rising up, and I was super glad they made us read the founding documents.
Some of the most powerful propaganda in modern history is simply the shit people openly circulated in non-modern history.
Like, these people weren't subtle. They couldn't be. Not when the folks this guy was arguing with was shilling for equally abominable shit, to an audience of petite bourgeois scumbags who just wanted to know when they could get back to raping and looting their neighbors.
in gommulist soviet china,, political ideology is enforced by the state
Bad thing happens in a chud state
:reddit-logo: - This is exactly like Jingping's CCP
every time
This real thing is just like this hecking boogeyman I've made up in my head. :wojak-nooo:
Didn't Florida also just put forth a bill about teaching kids the "evils of communism" (as if the entire public school system doesn't already do that)
I wonder if that will go anything like DARE did. When they did a DARE thing at my school in the 4th grade or sometime around then, I got to see a bunch of fellow grade-schoolers literally promise each other that they would all do tons of drugs as teens just to spite the dumbfuck pig and school counselor that we could all tell were talking down to us.
Adults, for whatever reason, constantly underestimate kids' ability to read bullshit for what it is, as well as their tendency to challenge things out of youthful contrarianism if nothing else.
The big difference here is that doing drugs is far more tolerated by society than being a communist. Most kids know DARE is bullshit because they have tons of examples of people they know and/or look up to who do drugs and don't melt into a puddle. Most kids don't know many open communists.
Going to keep hitting people in the face and yelling "Communism Bad" until they internalize the message.
well this is terrifying but sadly not out of character for this hell hole
Florida seems like its competing harder than ever to be the shittiest state.
If you live in a shithole like Florida or Texas, this is nothing new. It's unlikely to spread to non-shithole parts of the US.
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!
