The Number Of Taxpayer Dollars Do Florida’s State Universities Drop On Bogus Racial Brainwashing? DeSantis Demands Invoices

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is requiring state universities expose just how much cash they waste on programs and personnel to press the racially dissentious and prejudiced ideology embedded in so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) efforts and important race theory (CRT).

According to a memo launched by DeSantis Press Secretary Bryan Griffin, every organization within the Florida College System and State University System should supply the administration with “a comprehensive list of all staff, programs, and campus activities” relating to DEI and CRT by no behind Jan. 13. The administration even more demands an in-depth expense breakdown of the lists, such as the “total funding spent to support the initiative,” along with the quantity of each overall figure that is moneyed by the state.

“As the Executive Office of the Governor prepares policy and budget proposals ahead of the 2023 Legislative Session, it is important that we have a full understanding of the operational expenses of state institutions,” the memo checks out.

Comparable to how standard Marxism wields financial status to foment social angst in between the abundant and bad (bourgeoisie and proletariat), CRT wields race to achieve the very same objective by developing an “us vs. them” vibrant amongst the unwary population. Instead of mentor kids to evaluate others by the material of their character, critical race theory persuades them into seeing the world through a racial lens, in which all white individuals are categorized as oppressors and non-white individuals as oppressed.

On the other hand, poorly-named “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) programs bring such perfects into the office and college by dismissing benefit for qualities such as skin color and sexuality. People who receive a specific position on the benefits, however do not satisfy the entity’s objective of being more “diverse,” are passed over in favor of those who examine whatever box the “woke” crowd discovers appropriate.

Throughout his very first term as guv, DeSantis dealt with the Florida legislature to fight the left’s ideological crusade throughout Florida’s class. In April 2022, the Republican politician guv signed legislation forbiding the mentor of CRT in public schools and at occasions such as office training sessions. A month prior, he likewise signed the “Parental Rights in Education” costs that bars “classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through 3rd grade.”

“We must ensure school systems are responsive to parents and to students, not partisan interest groups, and we must ensure that our institutions of higher learning are focused on academic excellence and the pursuit of truth, not the imposition of trendy ideology,” DeSantis said throughout his inaugural speech on Tuesday.
