Conservative censoriousness is holding Florida back [View all]
Ignorance is not strength.A recent column in the Independent Florida Alligator laments how college professors and other educators who teach disfavored subjects or use certain words are beginning to self-censor. The headline reads, “Think While It’s Still Legal.”
Gov. Ron DeSantis and his angry regime aren’t big fans of thinking. Or learning.
They hate and fear knowledge: How dare these so-called “experts” with their years of study and their graduate degrees dispute the state’s most cherished prejudices?
Many Floridians agree: Expertise is for losers.
