Latinx Protestants and American Politics

My initial thoughts published last year: Latinx Protestants and American Politics Gerardo Martí Sociology of Religion, Volume 83, Issue 1, Spring 2022, Pages 1–11,

Florida’s State Colleges Say They’ll Ban Promotion of Critical Race Theory

“Presidents of Florida’s 28 state and community colleges said they would identify and eliminate, by February 1, any academic requirement or program “that compels belief in critical race theory or related concepts such as intersectionality.”

That remarkable statement comes as the state’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, has opened a new offensive against what he describes as “trendy ideology” in higher education.
