So what happens to these "surveys"? Where do they go?
DeSantis knows damn well that educational - proper and truthful education - is not a good thing for Lukaschenko wannabes like him.
Take the failed economic policies of the right - clearly they have been debunked by any reasonable academic study over the years, yet they continue to push this garbage. So if an Economics professor reveals trickle-down as the failed experiment that it is, does the Prof lose their job?
And what about Tulsa, or the 1619 project? This is a critical part of American history, as is the brutality of slavery which is often whitewashed in favor of sepia-toned photographs of how white men fought against each other in the Civil War "to free the slaves".
Florida, going back to the Jeb Bush days, has been after public education for quite awhile now.
Now, Governor Lukashenko will codify the process. All students, faculty, and staff of Florida universities and colleges will now register with the state - a state firmly under the control of the new good ol boy network, the Florida GOP.
Back in the 60's and into the 70's, campuses were the ground zero of dissent and protest. If only.
