Finally, finally.<\/p>\n
A red state governor FINALLY<\/strong> did something to change the orientation of hyper-leftwing colleges.<\/p>\n “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday made six new appointments to the New College of Florida Board of Trustees, including Manhattan Senior Fellow Christopher F. Rufo.<\/strong><\/p>\n Rufo’s work has been featured on PBS, Netflix, and international television and has been notable for challenging critical race theory.<\/strong><\/p>\n The New College of Florida in Sarasota, is a top-ranked public liberal arts college and is the designated honors college of the state university system.<\/strong><\/p>\n DeSantis’ news press secretary Bryan Griffin sent a statement to Fox News Digital claiming that the academic institution has been “captured by a political ideology that puts trendy, truth-relative concepts above learning.”<\/strong><\/p>\n “All of these appointees have a firsthand understanding of the Florida education system as a product of their work with us and the Florida Department of Education on other important initiatives. We are grateful to them for lending their time and expertise to the benefit of Florida\u2019s students,” the DeSantis office told Fox News Digital.<\/strong><\/p>\n “The New College of Florida is a public institution with a statutorily stated mission of ‘provid[ing] a quality education.’ Unfortunately, like so many colleges and universities in America, this institution has been completely captured by a political ideology that puts trendy, truth-relative concepts above learning.”<\/strong><\/p>\n The statement added, “In particular, New College of Florida has reached a moment of critical mass, wherein low student enrollment and other financial stresses have emerged from its skewed focus and impractical course offerings.””<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s about damn time!\u00a0 Sure this is one college in something like 3,200 colleges in America.\u00a0 Sure there will be battles from day one and the feds will punish the college every chance it gets.\u00a0 But it’s a step in the right damn direction.\u00a0 Now every other red state governor should do the exact same thing over and over again.<\/p>\n This DeSantis guy is pretty good.\u00a0 He’s doing the right things.\u00a0 He’s thinking clearly about how things can be changed and he’s reaching out to good people to do those things.\u00a0 He’s making Florida a much better place.\u00a0 That’s got to be a good thing.\u00a0 Whether he should be president or vice president is a different question.\u00a0 Maybe he should stay as governor of Florida and maybe end up the de facto leader of the red state coalition.\u00a0 But any way you look at it he’s making a real difference.\u00a0 Bravo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Finally, finally.
