Going To School

IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA there is a unique shool, a college, an institute of higher education. Its called, creatively, "The New School", and has about seven hundred enrolled students. All the students are people who have displayed high attainment, in terms of grades and test results, at other colleges and universities within the state. A sort of honors college, if you will. Tes, latter day hippies, and so forth forth The campus, I have heard, is populated largely by progressive types; latter day born again hippies, new agers, alternative paradigmers, and the like. Its been extant for more than twenty years, and to a person the alumi members love it, lover their xperiences while attending, and to this day regard it warmly in their hearts and minds. But there is a problem,a rather recent one, the same recent problem which afflicts all Florida progressives and Democrats and advocates of complete academic freedom. That problem, you migt have guessesd is Governor Desantis. Demonstrably adverse to all things progressive, including "wokism", LGBRQ culture and progressive educational values, the Republican governor wants to essentially turn The New School into a Florida version of Hllsdale college of Michigan. Hillsdail college is a Formally Christian school, wheres The New School is purley public, which of course presents the first insurrmountable barrier, the one between church and state. Also, Hillsdale teacher purely hagiographic American history, taught from a conservative point of view, according to which these United States of America can historically barely do any wrong, and need to only be made great again, in the old of traiditional, conservative values. Already DeSantis has fired the old progressive board of directors and replaced them all with right wing sycophants of himself. Chaos reigns. Tenured profesors are finding out that the new regime has no respect for even the very concept of "tenure", and professors, without employment seurity, are leaving in droves. Before he's mercifully out of office, if ever, the New Sxhool will oubtles been reduced of an academic shell of its former self. That's why it is of the utost, most urgent imprtance that retired progressives from the north relocate immediately to Florida in droves, to change the balance of power in the formerly sunshine saturated state.
