In Ron DeSantis's Florida, cruise lines cannot ask whether someone is vaccinated before boarding, but schools can ask students what political party they support. \n\nThis is absolutely disgusting.

\u201cthe state could institute budget cuts if university students and staff do not respond in a satisfactory manner.\u201d\n\nIn a satisfactory manner.\n\nFascist.https://www.salon.com/2021/06/23/desantis-signs-bill-requiring-florida-students-professors-to-register-political-views-with-state/\u00a0\u2026

Public universities in Florida will be required to survey both faculty and students on their political beliefs and viewpoints, with the institutions at risk of losing their funding if the responses are not satisfactory to the state's GOP-led legislature.https://www.salon.com/2021/06/23/desantis-signs-bill-requiring-florida-students-professors-to-register-political-views-with-state/\u00a0\u2026

.@GovRonDeSantis unleashes the MAGA Thought Police on Florida. He has signed a Republican bill requiring public universities, colleges to survey students\u2019 and faculty beliefs and fine schools that are insufficiently right wing. https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/watch/florida-gov-ron-desantis-signs-bill-requiring-public-universities-colleges-to-survey-student-faculty-beliefs-115364421670\u00a0\u2026 via @msnbc

schools less \u201cliberal?\u201d\n\nIt\u2019s unconstitutional, obvs. But the goal here is to chill student and youth voter participation. DeSantis has access to the voter rolls. Kids trying to get into college will be terrified to register if they think it will hurt their admission chances.

NEW: "House Bill 233 requires university students and faculty to fill out a survey from the government about their political beliefs in what Gov. DeSantis has called an effort to monitor \u201cintellectual diversity\u201d on campus."https://www.democracydocket.com/2021/06/florida-students-must-register-their-political-views-with-the-state/\u00a0\u2026

He needs to be sued, when people say what's wrong with the literacy program in Cuba? It's this, you read what they want you to read. That's it. #FidelDeSantis

This is repackaged McCarthyism. Disgusting

Ron DeSantis signed a law requiring all students/faculty at public universities to declare their political beliefs every year.\n\nLaw goes into effect July 1. Bill doesn\u2019t say what will be done with the info. DeSantis says he\u2019ll cut funding if he finds \u201cindoctrination\u201d of students.pic.twitter.com/BzKG05snbh

Ron DeSantis is testing his fascist agenda in Florida. We will never let him take it nationwide.https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2021/06/22/state-university-faculty-students-to-be-surveyed-on-beliefs/\u00a0\u2026

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation that requires public universities & colleges survey students, faculty and staff about their beliefs and viewpoints.\n\nThis is the 1st step toward George Orwell's thought police. \n\nOne has to wonder what he will do with this info.
