Don Moynihan: Important to note that the state has already been censoring professors for years in Florida. Now, they just want to formalize the process. My field, public policy and administration, would be impossible to teach under these conditions. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/an-assault...

It is incredibly infuriating that all the complaining about cancel culture paved a path to this, where state officials are saying that they are allowed to censor any faculty speech that contradicts them. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

An Assault on Reason; An Assault on Rightsdonmoynihan.substack.com The broader context of Florida barring professors from testifying in a voting rights case

If you put in "Florida higher education" in "The Free Press" you would have zero idea that the state has passed laws that censor speech there. And why would you. Weiss et al provided the script for the Stop Woke Act.

DeSantis also getting rid of any state support for the arts. Its just an incredibly grim vision for how the state relates to society. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/a...

DeSantis Vetoes All Arts Grants in Floridawww.nytimes.com Gov. Ron DeSantis gave no explanation for zeroing out the $32 million in grants that were approved by state lawmakers.

I’m curious what their explanation is. Is it just “all these orgs are woke” or is it “the government shouldn’t support the arts”?

Why not both?

Typically Republican.

I think that Art Basel Miami should change location.

The charitable explanation (?) is probably how conservatives internalized the "Piss Christ" and line of cases about arts, which I'm even now having a hard time buying as I type. Still doesn't make it less dumb and less authoritarian.

It's wild that she doesn't have a sense of shame for this blatant erasure of reality

Why would she have a sense of shame about it? She knows what she’s doing.

bingo, cancelling critics of Israel at Columbia is the only reason Bari has a career, it was never about any principle for her other than right-wing grievance mongering

You're probably right. Naive to think she didn't start out in bad faith

Her only skill is realizing that if you want to have a really easy career as a writer, simply appeal to reactionary ghouls with unlimited money. She’s just an elder millennial John Podhoretz

Doesn't it depend on the contract's wording signed by the full-time staff? Contracts are everything. Also, isn't it illegal for an employer or anyone else to attempt to prevent a witness of fact from testifying under a subpoena? Florida needs to focus and vote these fascists out!!

All of that should be irrelevant as these laws are prevented by the Constitution. Of course Republicans have shown they have no interest in upholding the Constitution.

And voting doesn't work when they've gerrymandered and Jim Crowed their way to unshakeable control.

Situation FUBAR.

And there’s three schools with big PA programs…
