They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

(b) The State Board of Education shall require each Florida College System institution to conduct an annual assessment of the intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity at that institution. The State Board of Education shall select or create an objective, nonpartisan, and statistically valid survey to be used by each institution which considers the extent to which competing ideas and perspectives are presented and members of the college community, including students, faculty, and staff, feel free to express their beliefs and viewpoints on campus and in the classroom. The State Board of Education shall annually compile and publish the assessments by September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2022. The State Board of Education may adopt rules to implement this paragraph.

(c) The State Board of Education may not shield students, faculty, or staff at Florida College System institutions from free speech protected under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, Art. I of the State Constitution, or s. 1004.097.
I don't know enough about the law to have a strong opinion one way or another, but it is completely bullshit that the media is lying about the law. On the surface, it appears to be a pushback against canceling anyone that isn't far left.


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

You understand that if I say the sky is purple that would be an idea that should not be treated equally just because someone has it right? Some ideas are indeed worth less than others. The idea that conservatives that dominate the media landscape and who’s voices are EVERYWHERE are being silenced makes the sky being purple seem reasonable on second thought.
