Amid protesters at the New College in Sarasota, Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has dealt his most impactful blow yet to "woke" education by signing Senate Bill 266, which prohibits public funding of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in Florida colleges and universities.
He is arguably the stateâs biggest, most influential lobbyist, and the political figure behind the scene, but what really drives Ron Book is his devotion to his family and his philanthropical work around the state.
Now Bookâs work is once again being acknowledged, as Tulane University has hung up his jersey from the rafters of its law school hall of fame.
Rick Scott-Hillary masterminded it. Obama knew. Biden knew. What a disgusting stain on our nation.
EVERYONE KNEW IT WAS A FAKE HOAX THE WHOLE TIME.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz-The MAGA moves to curb speech, muzzle professors & stifle academic freedom weaken FLA's universities. This latest @RonDeSantisFL
censorship measure just emboldens extremists to wage campus witch hunts and silence vital minority voices and research. #SayRace #SayGay
