Advice to Florida students: Keep a straight face and tell them crazy stuff

[struggle4progress]

Under new Florida law, the state will track the political views of university faculty and students

And when you're asked your political views, just be prepared to go full-blown collegiate Florida Man or Florida Woman

State campuses need more political diversity! So it's a great time to start new parties:

Moon-landing Truther Party -- all state employees must swear that the Apollo missions were a hoax

Free Guns in Schools Party -- taxpayers should provide everyone in our elementary schools (staff, teachers, and students) with a loaded uzi for self-defense

Public executions for miscarriage -- any woman who has a miscarriage belongs on death row

And don't be shy about expressing your deeply-held personal beliefs:

"I'm tired of liars telling me the earth is round"

"The major problems today are vampires and werewolves"

"I always vote for whoever the mothership tells me to support"

With hardly any work, you'll come up with much better stuff than I did

Fug em. Have fun with it.

1. It's an online survey through survey monkey.

I’m waiting for someone to share the link.

4. That is linked to faculty, staff, and student's email addressed

I have watched both faculty and staff take it, and it's pretty bad. Both categories have separate tests after a bit, unless you are also staff who may teach a class or two, which exist. I haven't seen what the student one says. Many staff and faculty have changed their voter registration to R or I, and they also answered the survey like a conservative. LGBT staff are waiting to be fired this year, that is how scared folks are here.

Fcaulty have some union protection, but staff have none. No union, no due process.

People cannot share the link with people here. Good lord.

2. Why would anyone answer any questions? I would say

NOYB.

5. Because people need jobs

People need health insurance. People are afraid, especially Poc/women/LGBT+.

The surveys are linked to the email of the student, staff, or faculty they are sent to. I know this for a fact.

7. Interesting.

Then why would Students answer?

6. I am hoping that is exactly what will happen. I'm depending on them.

We need them to be the snarkiest, most smart assed youths known to mankind.

8. The supposed purpose of the survey is to ensure no political bias in the colleges

With that in mind, everyone should indicate that they are strong, right-wing conservatives in the survey.

Then make the argument that we need more liberal, progressive ideas in schools to balance that out.

9. One problem with that plan

They'll use the fake wingnut count to justify hiring more looney tunes wingnut faculty so that "the faculty more accurately represents the views" of the college.

10. I'll tell them I joined that party with the guy who has a boot on his head.

Two can play at that game!
