Less than a year after Ron DeSantis appointed a new board of trustees to remake New College of Florida in the image of DeSantis' 'war on woke' political stunt, nearly 40 faculty members have left the small school, along with many students, who the board is trying to replace with lower standards and athletic scholarships.

Lifelong Tampa Bay resident here. I hate what DeSantis has done to that college. He talks about not wanting students to be indoctrinated, but his actions tell me he doesn't mind students there being indoctrinated with his political beliefs.

Republicans have repeatedly stated that the reason they vote against educational assistance bills is because a less educated population makes for more Republicans. Not joking, look it up. And what DeSantis is doing is running for president by showing what an awesome Christian Republican he is by battling against an imaginary enemy. Woke means being kind and compassionate, which they want nothing of.

College students are adults, not children. There's no "think of the children" argument to be had here. They're old enough to vote, they're old enough to drive, and many of them are of drinking age. Some of them are over 30 years old. Some are over 50. They're making choices about their future career paths. The government does not have the right to dictate to them what careers they are allowed to have and what they are allowed to learn.

A Dutchie here. I sure hope that if Trump is not a candidate anymore, deSantis will not be the alternative. I expect him to be a greater disaster for the USA than Trump. The Trump era has already weakened the systems to an extent that will takd a long time to repair. DeSantis knows the system. He can read and is not as lazy as Trump. And he is interested in far more area's than Trump. I am afraid he will do irreversible damage to the USA and the rest of the world. He is not a mini-Trump but Trump 5.0. Do the republicans not have a candidate who is not aiming for fascism, will do disastrous things internationally and is qualified like in having worked in public office before. I hate to say it but it seems to me that only Chris Christie and maybe Nick Haley come to mind. The only republican that I know who would fit, is Liz Cheney. I know I would probably not like her policies but she is at least sane and no fascist.

When people are taught to form their own opinions and do their own research, we call this becoming educated. Educated people overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Not all of them, but a great majority. Most republicans are blue collar, average "Joes" who are so used to being told what to do, what to think, and how to vote, that they never consider there might be an alternative. Republicans value power, authority, and control while masking it behind other facades. If colleges teach students to become educated, the GOP loses a large portion of its base and will likely never win an election again. This is why they want cookie cutter schools, colleges, and universities to create good "workers" who do as they are told and don't bother applying critical thinking skills, instead of good leaders who will challenge the status quo. Again, not every Republican feels this way, this is a broad generalization that has been exacerbated by Trump and the MAGA Crowd.
