The Atlantic: Politicians Can’t Just Go Around Censoring Ideas That Anger Them (archive.ph)

Of course it's about Florida and not about actual censorship.

Janet Kistner, the vice president for faculty development and advancement at FSU, sent out a memo telling us that we can’t try to force our students “to believe any … ‘specified concepts’ (each based on race, color, sex, or national origin) because such action would be per se discriminatory under the amended statute.”

In other words, we must not upset conservative white folks.

They're so used to brainwashing children and young adults with other people's taxes that being told to do THEIR DAMN JOB feels like oppression to them.

X González, the Parkland shooting survivor and gun-control activist;

This is that bulldyke who admitted to bullying that shooter until he snapped. She now calls herself X Gonzalez, and pretends to be "non-binary", because why not drive your father to suicide while you're at it?

and Hillsdale “reviewers” helped scour Florida classroom materials for hints of critical race theory like 16th-century Vatican operatives scrutinizing books for signs of heliocentrism, humanism, and other heresies.

Stupid cunt. Heliocentrism was fine in the 16th century, which is why Copernicus' work was published in 1543. Humanism was not only fine, it was sponsored by several popes. Galileo got into trouble for his letter to the duchess, in which he attempted to reinterpret the Bible, which got him a reprimand from cardinal Bellarmine, not heliocentrism per se. In fact, the pope specifically allowed him to espouse heliocentrism if he also presented the pope's alternative view.

Honestly this was such a perfect mask off moment it still doesn't feel real. Even the MSM knew it was a bad moment because they dropped all those kid's asses within days after, with only Hogg ever being heard from since and entirely to laugh at him trying to reclaim his fame.

"We need more bullying."

Yet we criminalize fighting back.

Victims never learn to properly respond to mistreatment.

Victims never get the rage out of their system.

Bullies never learn there are consequences for their actions.

We are creating castrated gimps incapable of rebellion.

Legalize fighting back.

You would need a pool of teachers at least two standard deviations above what's available and administrators with steel backbones and complete immunity to social justice sedition backing them up to enforce anything more complicated than Zero Tolerance.

In my senior Southern Literature class, I’m about to teach Go Down, Moses, William Faulkner’s great novel about how racism has warped America. I ask my students to think about the stories Faulkner tells: the dispossession of the Chickasaw people, the enslaved woman who drowns herself in despair, and the white family struggling to accept that the admired patriarch who built their Mississippi cotton kingdom also raped his own daughter. Here at Florida State University, in the capital city of the third state to join the Confederacy, I ask them to consider the ways our troubled past haunts our precarious present. I start writing dates on the board—1619, 1830, 1863—and I wonder if somebody will accuse me of breaking Florida law.

“I teach anecdotal stories as history and ignore the greater reality of history”. 1619 solidifies “Black people” AS THE CAUSE of slavery being legalized in “America”, do you “teach” that?

Do you teach that it was Jefferson (the “racist” who has been slandered by the left for completely false claims of having “jungle fever”) who ended the transatlantic slave trade?

Governor Ron DeSantis sees Florida’s colleges and universities as hotbeds of trendy theories, where professors delight in propagating Marxism, pushing anti-racism, and undermining traditional gender identity. He likes to say he puts on “the full armor of God” to fight “wokeism” and create a “patriotic” education system. To that end, Florida has banned the teaching of what DeSantis declares erroneous doctrine, especially critical race theory and “The 1619 Project.” Both challenge our happier myths: that the Founding Fathers hated slavery even though they owned slaves, or that rugged individualism enables anyone to succeed if they just work hard enough.

The 1619 project is literal fiction. Critical race theory is literal fiction. Both are fabricated history that does not “challenge myths” as the narrative states but instead cherry picks unrelated topics in the worst context to cry victim. I could make black people look like the bane of humanity just going over the North African slavery and teaching how they would castrate young men who has a 11% survival rate from said castration as they were also forced to march hundreds of miles to their destination with the wound.

The syllabus for a fall 2022 University of Florida seminar on how Black artists use the Gothic to explore racial oppression states, “No lesson is intended to espouse, promote, advance, inculcate, or compel a particular feeling, perception, or belief.” I remind students that I do not judge them on their opinions, only on how they support those opinions with facts and evidence.

You couldn’t even make an opening statement without blindly chasing opinions over facts and evidence. Sorry but “shouting your truth” isn’t factual based or objective.

Whatever happens in the courts, academic liberty in the state that DeSantis calls the “freest” in America has already been damaged. Professors now add careful, lawyerly language to our course descriptions.

Funny how you had no qualms added “careful, lawyerly language” when it came to gender identity and the isms studies to begin with.

It was working great until you kept expanding the role of government. Now no one can succeed without greasing its palms.

I guess it depends on what you mean by politician for them. University president is a pretty political position, and many university presidents are in fact lapsed politicans.

The question is not whether the legislature can ban speech but whether they can control their own academic institutions. Are they arms of the state or merely sinks of state money, unaccountable? The right to free speech is individual, not institutional.

even as they promise our government masters that we’ll play nice

This is probably supposed to sound sassy, but the state is literally your overboss. Deal with it.

No, not in other words. But if that's a rule of thumb that helps you obey the law...

wait, the government deciding that taxpayer dollars can't be used to put porn in schools and spread hate speech is censorship?

the fuck is wrong with these faggots? where were they for the biden administration colluding with big tech to censor factually accurate information from being censored during the pandemic, often even official data from the CDC and NIH that debunked the narrative?

oh, that's right, they don't care about morals or beliefs... they're just tyrants looking for power. yellow journalist tabloids trying to fight for who gets to be the next goebbels.
