      Journalists, please read the stuff you're writing about. I know this is really, really challenging for you but it's kind of your jobhttps://reason.com/volokh/2021/06/24/does-a-new-florida-law-require-state-universities-to-monitor-faculty-and-student-beliefs/ …

      “We want our universities to be focused on critical thinking and academic rigor. We do not want them as basically hotbeds for stale ideology. That’s not worth tax dollars and not something we’re going to be supporting moving forward.” -- DeSantis

      That doesn't mean the claim about the scary survey is true. It just isn't, if you read the text.

      Like the anti-CRT bills, you have a combination of a muddled messaging bill & maximalist political statements designed to chill speech. Given this is a political battle, I think we have to give weight to the political statements.

          "Florida Gov signs law requiring students, faculty be asked to declare their political beliefs" etc are just false though -- all it takes is bare familiarity with climate surveys. I agree with you about Desantis's goals/what he would do if he were unfettered, but still

          This is a cute intellectual move. When criticizing CRT we must hold to the most narrow definition of possible harms, and statements of proponents ‘about’ it don’t count. When criticizing criticism of CRT we must use the widest definition of possible harms. 🤷🏻‍♂️

          Reporting the facts isn't this kind of hair-on-fire headline/tweet--"register political views with the state." The WaPo story was no better (same sort of headline). It's willfully dishonest, and one of the reasons many people outside coastal intelligentsia now distrust the media.pic.twitter.com/LBZDpc8zcb

          It's ironic you talk about "chilling speech" when the language of the Florida law (however imperfectly worded) is meant to prevent exactly that. Viewpoint diversity is not exactly a hallmark of modern education nowadays in most institutions.
