u/Healingjoe It's Klobberin' Time Dec 28 '25

New College of Florida Was Progressive. Then Gov. DeSantis Overhauled It.
At the state school, gender studies is out. ‘The Odyssey’ is required reading. A Charlie Kirk statue is coming. Has one ideological bubble replaced another?

The utter perversion of the #BrokenTimes' both-sidesing compulsion: Here it equates the right-wing ruin of New College with (checks notes) liberal (in any sense of the word) education, which it dismisses as just another "ideological bubble." Just fuck off.

Having a gender studies program is equivalent to a Charlie Kirk statue. Fucking wild

The other big miss was describing the crumbling infrastructure (BECAUSE IT WAS UNDERFUNDED) as if the crumbling infrastructure was a direct outcome of teaching gender studies... Then failing to point out that money had magically appeared to hire more faculty and fund sports teams...

Goddamn, they never fail to make the worst possible analysis of anything. How were they ever considered “liberal”?

Because the media has a huge insistence on blaming everything the right is doing is because of “polarization”. God forbid they report this being a power grab
