Florida No. 1 in book censorship, No. 47 in SAT scores. Dropping every year since 2017. Not hard to understand when you teach revisionist history, lead the nation in book bans & even math word problems are changed for being too woke. DeSantis should never be in a Federal (or any) Government position

The college ratings from WSJ and US News & World Report are reasonable guides for academic quality and rigor among US colleges. Just like in Okiehomie, the Sunshine State is barren when it comes to top academic schools, and doesn't raise much attention for schools in the middle of the peloton. One need not go far north to find such schools in the South (e.g., Emory, GA Tech, Duke, UNC, Vandy) but one must leave the state...

Trump could have done SO much for American Education by appointing DeSap-ist to that Chair; the continued Dumbing Down of America being a Key part of Trumpers staying in power.

The Oligarchs like Trump and Musk and Theil and Leo Leonard like the voters as ignorant as possible, and they recently got their wish.

I'm reserving criticism until I get the official word from Gracie about why this is a good thing, or fake news, or a democratic hit piece or whatever it's going to be called.

Books and education have no place in fascist America.

Florida is Republican Party central, for years it has voted for the far right, to "protect" the white supremacists, the "christianity is the law of the land" folks.
And slowly the sea reclaims the coastline as those idiot Republican Party members also decline to admit human caused global warming.
Kind of awesome really, to be so incredibly powerfully stupid and dangerous at the same time.

Oh you idiots, STFU.

Leave that state to how they want to live.

Not everyone wants progressives putting in books on how children can give --------.
