      Have the intellectual dark web guys started to openly support DeSantis? If they haven't - they will.

          How do they justify it? How do they finish a sentence like this?... Intellectual freedom is paramount but...

            "...this wokeness is just out of hand," then proceeds into some unrelated story that probably didn't happen at some small liberal arts college you've never heard of before. Of course theres no real justification, unless you are a real capital r Rationalist like them, in which case it all makes sense

        Palm Beach University as a name would be amusing but believable. But what compelled them to stick "Atlantic" in their name? Is there Palm Beach on the Pacific that I don't know about? If a graduate is in another state and somebody asks them where they went to university - they must dread it. The convos must always go something like this...

        "Where'd you go to school?"

        "Palm Beach Atlantic University"

        "Um... What?"

          I looked it up to double check and there is in fact no palm beach on the pacific. California has a Palm Springs but no palm beach.

          Edit: Okay actually there IS a Palm Beach, NSW, Australia, it’s a suburb of Sydney.

            I guess I'll never why there's an "Atlantic" in the name

            Fuck it. Google time.

            It's "named for its location in the Palm Beaches". But there's no mention of Atlantic. It used to be called Florida Baptist College and then Palm Beach Atlantic College. I guess everybody calls it PBA even though that's also a beer. My only guess is that maybe PBA is a pun or wordplay on Baptist stuff. Or the founders like to pound Pabst Blue Ribbon.

    In Communist China, professors get fired for straying from the party doctrine.

    Need to start demanding scholastic sanctuary. (see I read another book!) For real though politics shouldn't be allowed to dictate even publicly funded universities.
