1984 has arrived in Florida and Ron DeSantis is Big Brother

https://www.salon.com/2021/06/23/des...ws-with-state/

Students and professors at Florida’s public Universities are now required to register their political views with the state.


This is beyond an abomination.

Gotta agree with mostie here.
This totally unacceptable and reeks of invasion of privacy by the government.
What's next for Desantis, Star of David requirements?

Everyone should register as "American."

The gov just dropped 40 points in my approval rating.

The Left started this over two years ago. No Sympathy. Not one Iota.

Our schools are overwhelmingly liberal, which only spawns more liberalism and decay of our country. Surveys will not provide accurate results anyway, perhaps conservatives should use "sleeper agents".

No they didn’t. Tell me where you think any Democrat proposed, much less passed, such a law.

No sympathy for who?
The people who's right to privacy is being infringed?
I sure as hell have some,
WTF does party have to do with an outright asault on personal freedom?

Hitler said the Jews started it, had it coming. Had no sympathy.

What possible good to the citizens comes out of this?

If this is true (I haven't seen the details and don't trust the media at all) I am not a fan of totalitarians in either party. It's one thing to ensure that personal politics don't enter the classroom. It's another to ask what a person's personal politics are. That's one step from using the same cancel tactics as the current totalitarians on the left use.

this seems similar to NY new gun law requiring and individual to turn over access to their social media accounts when applying for a conceal carry permit.

How is this any different than New York requiring all your and anyone 18 plus in the home web identification and account information so they can judge you on whether your able to exercise your God given Rights.

For which you have nothing but praise for New York's unelected Governor for signing that POS Bill.

Hey your side is pushing diversity down everyone's throats... Liberal have absolutely had any unhealthy over representation in the Halls of Education (just look at Libs of TicTok). Time Conservatives and Independent thinkers got equal time.

Is it Constitutional guess we'll find out about the same time as New Yorkers and their new gun law...

sounds like it's only for Public Universities and that it will be anonymous (although the left will certainly push the angle that it MIGHT not be anonymous, whatever that means).

Funny how you leftists SHIT THE BED when someone on the right pushes the constitutional envelope, but GOD FORBID I say anything about all the CANCELLING that has been going on for YEARS based on political views (namely, MOSTLY CONSERVATIVES)...you guys have had ZERO problems with that...based on the lack of outcry here.
