It is my understanding that DeSantis has just signed into law a statute which "requires" college

[Atticus]

students and faculty to be "surveyed" about their "political views".

My first question: what happens if your response to the survey is "pound sand!"

My second question: if their jobs or scholarships or grades depend upon "answering right", will not most learn to give Hannity-like responses?

1. It will be tossed out in court

because it’s a gross violation of the first amendment.

[Baitball Blogger]

17. Hopefully the case starts out with an injunction.

[jpak]

2. My response

Jack off Desantis is a stupid motherfucker who can kiss my libtard ass

There I said it

[elleng]

3. SMART ones will go to court and say None of his and the state's business.

First Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

4. I'd be curious to know the justification for this.

That is, I'd be curious if I didn't already know that the "justification" would be 100% pure, unadulterated bullshit.

[Walleye]

14. The justification is he's running for president and he's pandering to the right wing nut jobs

The GOP has given up entirely the idea of making good law

[roamer65]

5. Pat Paulsen.

That’s who I would put.

I also think the chocolate ration should be increased to 23 grams from 25 grams.

7. How could anyone find fault in his flawless logic when he stated

"If elected, I will win"???

America missed a great opportunity there.

[roamer65]

8. 👍👍

A man deserving of office he was...



Double plus good.

9. Sounds like SOMEONE hasn't had their 2 Minutes Hate yet today

[roamer65]

12. I wondered why I felt a little off today.

Very observant!

[3auld6phart]

21. LoL

Good thing I went to the can just about peed myself laughing. Pat was damn funny,also.

[roamer65]

23. Amazingly funny.

[Raven123]

6. It's against my religion to discuss politics

[struggle4progress]

10. "My political views are completely irrelevant to the content I teach"

would cover almost all cases

[Mad_Machine76]

11. I have to think

that they know that this is all unconstitutional but passing the stuff anyway makes them feel (temporarily) like they've "owned the libs" and ensure their rabid right-wing base's loyalty in the next election- and sometimes at least a few people will be hurt by the laws while the legal processes are ongoing.

[Walleye]

16. That's it in a nutshell

[obamanut2012]

13. All non-faculty staff, too

State Senator Lori Berman asked and was told the surveys will be sent to the .edu addresses, will not be anonymous, and when asked how the info would be used was not told how it would be.

So, students will be safe, because they pay money, tenured faculty and unionized faculty may be okay, secretaries, custodians, library staff, etc. will probably be fired. Well, laid off for budget reasons. Or, the library budget will be slashed, the English Department same, etc.

It may be thrown out of court, but it goes into effect July 1, and the first survey will be given right after the start of Fall Semester in mid August.

15. I would be tempted to reply in Greek. Oor maybe the. Code my best friend and I

created in high school.

Or simple, DDMF!

[Horse with no Name]

18. Withhold all federal education funds for Florida

Better yet, withhhold all federal funds until they get their shit together.

[Chainfire]

19. The Republicans want equal time for pseudoscience

Geology classes need to make provisions to present the case of the earth only being 6,000 years old. There must be as many Q believers as Democrats on faculty and staff. The Florida government is off it's hinges and can't move right enough fast enough to suit the Republicans. Pay attention folks, DeSantis may be your next president.

[DBoon]

20. Can you trace a survey to the person completing it?

Are the individual surveys destroyed once compiled?

Does this law address eight of these?

[Jerry2144]

22. I would like through my teeth

And say I am a conservative. I suspect most students and faculty will lie, too. This will be meaningless data.
