Unbelievable legislation attempting to be passed in Florida and
California It's a law that requires Professors to teach, “serious
academic theories” and allows, "students who think their beliefs are
not being respected legal standing to sue professors and universities."
Sniplet below TALLAHASSEE — Republicans on the House Choice and
Innovation Committee voted along party lines Tuesday to pass a bill
that aims to stamp out “leftist totalitarianism” by “dictator
professors” in the classrooms of Florida’s universities.
The Academic Freedom Bill of Rights, sponsored by Rep. Dennis Baxley,
R-Ocala, passed 8-to-2 despite strenuous objections from the only two
Democrats on the committee.
The bill has two more committees to pass before it can be considered
by the full House.
While promoting the bill Tuesday, Baxley said a university education
should be more than “one biased view by the professor, who as a
dictator controls the classroom,” as part of “a misuse of their
platform to indoctrinate the next generation with their own views.”
from the California Article: The issue of ideology on college campuses
has been sweeping American colleges for the past year, promoted by Los
Angeles-based conservative activist David Horowitz. Horowitz's
proposals include expanding "intellectual diversity" by mandating that
colleges increase hiring of conservative professors.
