No More Diversity Training in Florida Public Higher Ed

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has made sure that the  state's public colleges and universities will not teach diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

"If you look at the way this has actually been implemented across the country, DEI is better viewed as standing for discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination," DeSantis said. 

Earlier this year, DeSantis put conservative allies in control of the board of New College of Florida to put it in a more conservative direction. DeSantis signed the bill at the college.

Hierarchy supporters are going to amazing means to keep hierarchies alive, now insisting that diversity itself is negative, and recognizing that fact hurts the top of the hierarchy.
