Is #DeathSanits' intent to close New College & reopen it to remove 'wokeness'? He says higher education in FL must be "one free from indoctrination, an environment open to the pursuit of truth & the cultivation of intellectual autonomy for all students." It'd mandate state-sponsored indoctrination of white conservative values.

"Her embryo had become implanted in scar tissue from a recent cesarean section & she was in serious danger. The muscle separating her #pregnancy from her bladder was as thin as tissue paper; her placenta threatened to eventually invade her organs like a tumor...

State leaders who seek to abolish tenure are doing so exactly because they don't want academics to have free speech. They don't want the public to know what the actual science says. Thus, tenure is essential for keeping our public discussions exposed to the best science we have.

On a personal note, I know that a lot of what I write is unpopular with the State Gov't of Texas. Over the years, I've leveled a lot of (deserved IMHO) criticism in their direction about climate and energy policy.

The banks didn't fail because of wokeism- they failed because of Trumpism. Trump and GOP repealed regulations that would have 100% prevented the bank collapse. Once again Dems cleaning up the GOP's mess

A slice of pie is $2.50 in Jamaica.
It's $2.85 in Barbados.
And in the Bahamas, it's $3.25.
