A healthy and broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
The only reasonable response to this is for every sociology professor to blatantly flout the law. This must continue until either the state backs down, or it becomes impossible for anybody to get a degree in Florida that includes required sociology classes because there’s nobody left employed to teach it.
Additionally, every college in Florida should lose accreditation over this.
State accrediation is usually harder to get than the national one. When looking at schools (if you give a shit on where the degree is from) the state accred is what your looking for. If it has just the national accred, then be warry of it being a diploma mill. If it has neither, dont bother, they are likely run by a cult.
What I feel is going to happen is that companies will stop viewing that degree as favorably and pick applicants with stronger credentials. Worst case is that people with social science degrees from florida schools wont be able to breaking into job fields related to the degrees that are having the state intervene on the subject matter, but that will take years to notice if it happens at all.
I think you mean “regional accreditation” (e.g. https://sacscoc.org/ in this case), not “state accreditation.” Which is good, because Florida can’t exercise complete control over it.
Thank you for the correction, been a long time since Ive been around higher ed.
Unfortunately sociology does not seem to have A singular nationwide accreditation body (like ABET for STEM).
I mean the accreditation for the university itself should be pulled, as the state exerting that level of control calls the credibility of the entire institution into question.
Not just sociology… I am on the Board of a non profit that promotes science education… Chemistry, geology, astronomy, etc.
We have to do this because Florida has gutted most science curriculum.
And I guess this isn’t “cancel culture”?
You’re assigned X book, but we will only be reading the table of contents. I’ve prepared 12 supplementary documents that we will be using each week as your main reading.
Soon there will be a standard boiler plate statement that excludes people from floriduh from applying for jobs elsewhere.
At this point, Floridians are probably too dumb to even vote.
Just like Oklahoma.
Schools have always been propaganda machines, but the propaganda has shifted completely to 100% ignorance and hate.
You used to be able to learn actual science. History too, albeit with an AMERICA IS GREAT focus.
Future editions of “Lies My Teacher Told Me” are going to need to be multi-volume sets like encyclopedias.
