2. The campus is lovely

Too bad it's occupied by all those diverse people. He’s going to fix that.

This is sickening.

3. Excerpt from the link: DeSantis appoints ant-LGBTQ activist Rufo to New College Board

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has appointed right-wing activist Christopher Rufo, who rose to national prominence demonizing racial justice advocates and attacking LGBTQ communities, to the board of trustees of the New College of Florida. The appointment is all the more noteworthy given that Rufo lives in Gig Harbor, Washington.

Rufo is a senior fellow at the conservative Manhattan Institute and has spent years attempting to inject bigotry and incorrect information into mainstream discourses about gay and trans people, drag queens, and the academic discipline known as critical race theory. Rufo is also a frequent guest on Fox News, including on Tucker Carlson’s prime-time show.

“My ambition is to help the new board majority transform New College into a classical liberal arts institution,” Rufo tweeted in response to the news. “We are recapturing higher education.”

Rufo has long wanted to exert conservative control over educational policy, calling teachers “political predators” under a pretext of curriculum transparency. Now, with a new formal appointment, he’s positioned to threaten the safety and well-being of Black and LGBTQ students at New College of Florida, a public liberal arts school with a reportedly significant gay and trans population.

5. The Wrath of DeathSadist, a vengeful authoritarian bully.

The MAGATS love this level of cruelty and stupidity--take a quality liberal arts school and let HILLSDALE "college" make it over into a Christofascist mess. They throw around the word "classical" education, but of course that's code for conservative.
