Florida Bans Sociology From Core Curriculum At State Universities

Looks like book banning wasn't enough for their politicos to prove how "far right" they are. Guarantee if you look at the politico's children's college classes you'll find they're taking the very sociology their parents just banned. Why? Because they go to school out of state so they can receive a better education. As usual it's "rules for thee but not me"

Florida universities are going to lose accreditation at this rate. First, they butt in to basically remove any worth from the subject. "Rodrigues pointed to professors who have called the materials an “affront to academic freedom” and “subpar” for limiting how courses address race, gender and sexuality." How can you study human society without talking about race, gender and sexuality? You can't. Not if you actually want to learn anything worth a damn. Knowing that, and how the professors reacted, they just forced these courses out of general education. The idiots who think this is indoctrination into wokeness, should ask themselves why learning about race, gender, and sexuality in relation to modern American society makes kids 'woke.' It is less indoctrination than understanding and empathy.

Time to stop recognizing Florida university degrees. They reach no standard of a civilized society

State universities almost universally use the "distribution" model. You are required to take a social science, but you are never forced to take sociology specifically. The most commonly taken social sciences are psychology, civics and macroeconomics. Sociology is the 4th most popular elective in social sciences.

The study of society is now woke?

“If we don’t teach it, it doesn’t have to exist!”

Kids that study in Florida colleges will be very confused when they go to other countries and states. Crazy times we live in.

We’re speedrunning *fahrenheit 451* at this point. banning the study of how society functions while living in a collapsing society is peak irony. it’s like a mechanic banning the manual because he doesn't want anyone to know why the engine is on fire. florida is becoming a giant social experiment in 'willful ignorance' and the results are looking pretty bleak.

Because they don't want the public to know that what they're doing is wrong in Florida.

Sociology is just 'thinking too hard about why things are broken' and florida definitely doesn't want anyone doing that right now. can't have students accidentally learning how systemic issues work when you’re busy pretending they don’t exist. next week they’ll probably replace history with 'patriotic storytelling' and math with 'counting your blessings'.

I bet my life savings ,going off of JUST the headline , that they are doing this because Marx is an early figure in sociology.

I did Nazi that coming. Not in Florida. No, not at all.

I still remember when DeSantis touted this as the “Free State of Florida.”

This is why I’m grateful to live in California.
