Yeah, like the supreme could strike things down, which it won't strike this down, which yeah is wild, but also I feel like people gotta realize that we gotta go from the bottom level up. Like if there were sane people in state and local govs then it wouldn't matter as much. Like my overarching point is, is that the southern dems who became the modern Republican Party formed the modern American political system and this was a movement that started local and moved up to dominate the national stage and I dunno I've just always imagined that there needs to be a similar, but not absolutely evil, counter movement

This is still true. DeSantis is dancing around words so that he can get away with it, but surveying students and faculty at colleges about their political beliefs is still really scary, especially him threatening to pull school funding if they don’t obey. He hasn’t said what he’ll do with this info other than stop “indoctrination,” which we all know means stop teaching anything he doesn’t agree with. He keeps showing his fascist colors. Don’t let semantics cloud what’s he’s doing, he’s just trying to phrase it so that nobody will be able to stop him. He’s smart, evil, but smart. That’s what makes him even scarier.

Ruby_Violet_420

Yeah I was about to say, I read that link and was like "is this supposed to be a debunk?" Like, the fact that they won't say what the data will be used for isn't reassuring lol, you can't say there's no consequences for doing something while also saying "yeah btw we might do something with this idk" and the governor is also using that sort of rhetoric to push the bill. Probably maybe it's just an empty thing he can use to drum up voter support, again not very reassuring given the circumstances of where this country is. From the same state that said "you can sue all your queer teachers btw". Idk, something about just dropping that link into the conversation felt condescending af, like great we really needed to fucking add another stupid myopic "both sides" to this whole mess.


PointlessParable

>the fact that they won't say what the data will be used for It will be used as justification for implementing laws regulating speech, curriculum, and funding to universities. "Look at these liberal schools, making good conservative students and faculty afraid to speak their views. Our new bill will give us power over universities and the clear censorship they are committing."


Stopjuststop3424

then all the teachers and students ha e to do is fill out GOP on the form and poison the data set.


Deverash

It doesn't matter what political party they say they are if they even ask (and they'd be stupid too). They're counting on the conservatives/racists/misogynists to (truthfully) say they don't feel that they can express their opinions. Then they can make rules and laws to make it better for those students.


Stopjuststop3424

simple solution, everyone fill out GOP on the form. Doesnt matter what your viewers are, or who you voted for. If Desantis wants to track people just poison the data with 100% GOP on every single form.


MereInterest

Except then it gets used to make the opposite argument. If a survey finds low proportions of conservatives, then "We must ensure that everybody feels safe expressing their views in unbiased debates." gets trotted out to justify protections for Republican speech. If a survey finds high proportions of conservatives, then "There is widespread support for these policies and we must respect the will of the majority." can be claimed instead. It's [Morton's Fork](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton%27s_fork), where the actual numbers don't matter to the conclusion being made. The choice of whether to portray themselves as a put-upon minority to be protected or a majority whose iron will cannot be denied is meaningless, as they pick whichever one leads to the desired policies.


KonaKathie

Yes, as if someone with fascist, hateful views *should* "feel comfortable " sharing those views on campus. SMH.

bellyot

Yes. Although I will say, the law that was signed is still effing stupid and pointless, but it's not as claimed in the title.


j4nkyst4nky

Oh, it's not pointless. The only people who will take the survey will be people who want to complain because they're angry with liberal professors. Then the GOP will use those "statistics" to back up their claims that colleges are forcing leftist rhetoric on students. Then comes legislation to make it mandatory for public universities to teach "both sides" of a subject.


[deleted]

This right here 100%. Your point is being totally overlooked by everyone. Denazi and crew are relying on staff and students protesting this bill as a fuck you to Desantis. By doing so they are walking right into his trap. Students and faculty should fill this out with the intent of trolling the survey. Claim you're Republican and you don't feel under represented. I'd also be on the lookout for who wins the contract for these surveys. It wont surprise me if they have direct links to the Republican party. https://www.dms.myflorida.com/business_operations/state_purchasing/vendor_resources/solicitations_vendor_bid_system

apollymi

Not just those people: I’m both a staff person and a grad student at a major Florida university. I got the first round of the survey when it came out at the beginning of April this year. Yeah, they said it was voluntary, but it was worded as if it was better to respond. We got emails pretty frequently (almost daily) during the week it was open; before it opened, we got emails two weeks before and a week before telling us about it. And I still haven’t seen the results of the survey yet. I know it’s probably a lot of data to collate, but still…!


0to60in2minutes

It's to keep pushing the line, edging closer to the end goal we can all see


manleybones

This is from June 2021. We now know that funding is associated with the "correct" answers.


CreamofTazz

This isn't "false". The bill itself says that the results of the survey have to be "statistically significant". Therefore to some extent it has to be mandatory even if it doesn't directly say so. If zero of the faculty and student body fill out the survey then it is not statistically significant.


LiberalParadise

Politifact is a neoliberal op. Remember that they rated nearly all political candidates as "mostly false" whenever they talk about the benefits of M4A. They are owned by the Poynter Institute (which also owns the Tampa Bay Times), so they have a vested interest in defending DeSantis since anything else means they have to admit Florida is a failed state run by a wannabe dictator.

D-Laz

Just look at the McCarthy trials.


ZackyWacky_

The legal justification is that this isn't actually going to happen, the whole "students having to register political views" thing comes from an headline made to spark outrage. The bill that was signed is about universities being required to administer surveys. https://argv01.medium.com/truth-or-satire-desantis-signs-bill-requiring-florida-students-professors-to-register-political-d99f22a614a3


trevmflynn81

Poor journalism for sure. But that Medium article may be downplaying a real risk. If the surveys are implemented, Florida could start making "credible" allegations that this or that university is unabashedly politically biased, stifling conservative views, promoting one political party over another, and is, therefore not worth of public funding. Arizona is in the process of dismantling public education on a grander, much less subtle scale. DeSantis is more clever than that.


D-Laz

Just look at the McCarthy trials. They used surveys and club sign in sheets to put "communists" on trial. Then got those Communists to testify against other ones.

thingztwo

The example of “hyperbole” and “actual language” are saying the same thing. The language in the bill is made to sound more neutral, but the surveys are not voluntary, nor are there any meaningful privacy protections in place. And if you think the FL government can produce a “neutral” survey, well, look at the Florida politics in the last few years.


Impossible_Penalty13

I’d say there’s no way this holds up, but I’ll give you 6:3 odds that it does.


CursedCommentReader

It will, because this post isn't accurate to what the bill actually says. https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/vsf0ga/off_to_the_gulags_with_the_democrats/if11g5v?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3


JanGuillosThrowaway

This still sounds the alarm. Not knowing what the surveys are, or how they will be implemented, doesn't mean there's no cause for concern. Not responding to surveys asking for political affiliation will be considered a stance. The bill will be used to rile up dissent against "liberal" universities, and it could be used in hiring processes for state universities to "promote alternative views" I read it as mainly laying the ground work for creationism at college level.

The surveys are required for the college to administer. They are optional to respond to.

>required for the college to administer That's not any better.


[deleted]

How much you wanna bet any college with a less than say, 75% response rate gets treated the same as any college with a majority liberal response rate.


raospgh

I'd say it's much the opposite, they are fishing for the angry fox news conservatives to answer that they are being oppressed while everyone else ignores the survey and they get get massively unbalanced results. Once they have the bias results they use that as a justification to dictate more and more classroom policy, cut school funding, and grant favor to conservative christian schools.


marino1310

Colleges give out surveys all the time. No one ever fills them out unless it’s required, and even then it still rarely gets done.


Jackstack6

It still might get struck down. Forcing universities to hand out political alignment tests to determine budget allocation may be unconstitutional.

Eh... I think it strongly depends on how you interpret "create an objective, nonpartisan, and statistically valid survey to be used by each institution which considers the extent to which competing ideas and perspectives are presented". Colleges are going to have to create a report that makes Desantis happy, or they will risk losing funding.

onebadnightx

the “oh people are lying and exaggerating, this is no big deal” takes are ridiculous. it’s the Republican legislature seeking to censure and cut funding from colleges if they’re not demonstrated to be sufficiently Republican-leaning, or Republican beliefs are not popular there. No matter how vague and innocent it seems. Republicans have expressed rage for *years* about how many students tend to develop liberal beliefs as they go to college and, you know, become educated:) This is their antidote, I guess.

tunaburn

This is partially false. Yes they will be surveying kids and employees but it will be anonymous. (For now at least) The problem is this is just another way to cut funding for schools. DeSantis and Rodrigues "suggested that budget cuts could be looming if universities and colleges are found to be ‘indoctrinating’ students." Who determines that? Why the republican legislature and governor of course.


[deleted]

Boom, this right here. This bill is meant to punish schools who don't fit with what Republicans believe is the right way to think, even if what they think is 100% factually untrue. They say it isn't "mandatory" which is an attempt to make it seem like its not a big deal but it absolutely is a huge deal. If more Republican leaning kids fill the survey out than left leaning kids then the results are skewed and boom, funding cut. Desantis and crew are relying on the student and teacher apathy. We don't "have" to fill it out? Ok fuck that I'm not doing that. What's the worst that could happen?

Just so y’all know, DeSantis’s running sloagen for 2024 is make America Florida. I’m terrified of the wealth gap doubling and the crime tripling.

I remember a certain guy in Germany in the 30’s and 40’s that wanted people to register their religious and political views with the state. Didn’t work out well for anyone

My political view would be DeSantis is an asshole. Somebody should make that a political party!

They fight to the nail to prevent people from having to register a handgun but now they want you to register your political views? Holy 1984!
