Florida just dumped a bucket-load of these type courses.
Good for Florida!
Yeah. I looked at the syllabi of the humanities courses they cut, too. They were teaching Shakespeare by reading feminist essays about his characters that posited he wrote his plays to empower the government to perpetuate its hegemonic patriarchy. Florida's intervention didn't go far enough in my opinion.
My parents still subscribe to Newsweek and watch CNN. Which was fine in the 90s. But they don't understand the difference between then and now. They believe the spoonfed stuff about how much Trumpists hate freedom and other nonsense.
Anyway, I try very hard to never talk to them about politics. It's pointless. But they kept lamenting the loss of education in Florida and how much of a fascist the governor was. For weeks they got on my case about how much I should care about this because I went to school for free-thinking and all. It was annoying. Finally I told them it would be a good idea to look at the syllabi of the classes affected by the departments they overhauled.
My mom didn't talk to me for two weeks.
They must be a little disappointed that their son is an alt-right neo-Nazi.

It's me who's disappointed. The political stuff is a symptom of a bigger issue.

Don’t be. This kind of crap is easy to creep in over time and hard to prevent. I’m constantly fighting the impulse from the other direction and sometimes miss when I’m doing the same thing they are possibly from the other side. I think if you go back and look at our posts from 2002-2003, you will see that we’ve all become a little more absolutist in our thinking no matter the direction.

I dunno. Maybe. A buddy of mine asked me who I'm voting for this election just last night. I said I'm really not comfortable voting for any person, group or political movement that demonizes the other side, so I'm likely voting for Morgan Freeman. Either him or Larry Hogan. Hogan has more political experience but I can't decide if that's a good or bad thing.

I would point out that it’s just as possible to become too locked into being independent, too.

I find myself cheering every time Harris screws up and laughing when the other side is gnashing their teeth and rending their clothes. Then I look at the other side and mutter “Oh, FFS”…

I'm not cheering. You can't have half the country be insane. Shit it doesn't even take half, historically once you got past about 10 percent you'd start to have serious upheaval. I personally enjoy filling up my tank without having to worry about some bomber taking me out because the store owner happened to support Planned Parenthood or the NRA or whatever dumbass shit justifies carnage in the mind of the bomber.

One of the issues that I’m becoming a little bit of an absolutist about is the free speech thing.
The MTG weather control and hurricane shit drives me nuts, and the logical part of me says, yeah, there should be a way to quiet that kind of insanity, but then I think about how much worse it is if you do. And yes, the slippery slope that happens from there.

But it seriously scares the shit out of me how many people believe that, and how many people think she needs to be deplatformed and her voice removed.

Tim Walz has advocated for those sorts of controls on free speech. The abandonment of the first amendment is entirely mainstream in the leftist masses under the control of their moral panic.

Our storytelling devices have outpaced our sensibilities. Which means that videos can tell very convincing stories of just about anything right now. It does indeed make freedom of speech dangerous. We're literally not sufficiently acclimated to this form of speech to respond to it reasonably.
But I agree with you in that censorship would be far worse.

Judges.
Presidents come and go, but Federal judges are for life. In our system, it's really only a binary choice...Whose judges would you rather have, Trump's or Harris'?

Key historiographical themes include: changing interpretations of gender/sexuality by successive generations of historians, identities such as “trans” as both categories of analysis and objects of historical inquiry themselves, the challenges presented by sources that overlook, misrepresent, or obscure gendered subjectivity, and the political stakes of trans history during times of backlash and hostility towards trans communities.
Nikita's words not mine.
historiographical ?

The New College of Florda was a stoner heaven full of "Studies" majors and courses. Of course there is nothing wrong with stoner colleges if the kids parents pay the bill for him/her/they/them/it to attend. The problem is when they insist that the taxpayers of Florida pay for the school. Governor Ron did a pretty good thing erasing the old New College and most of all the other "Studies" programs in the other state universities and colleges. We're all happy here.
For a while there Florida was following the overall liberal trend and then DeSantis got elected and things really reversed. I can't say it was all about DeSantis, but a good leader can definitely sway attitudes and minds.

You’re confusing “Holy shit, those MFers actually elected me, I better give them something” DJT with the current “Bill Clinton is my political idol” version of DJT.

But I'm not sure I wanna spent $71,170 for tuition.

You should be able to enroll and audit just that one course, and I’m guessing the “tuition” for auditing one course should come in well below $10k, considering the typical student takes eight to ten courses per academic year and assuming that the $71k tuition you cited is the cost for one academic year.

Thanks for the tip! I would consider it, but I'm going to be busy for the next couple of semesters organizing and rearranging my sock drawer.
