Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The only reasonable response to this is for every sociology professor to blatantly flout the law. This must continue until either the state backs down, or it becomes impossible for anybody to get a degree in Florida that includes required sociology classes because there's nobody left employed to teach it.
Additionally, every college in Florida should lose accreditation over this.
State accrediation is usually harder to get than the national one. When looking at schools (if you give a shit on where the degree is from) the state accred is what your looking for. If it has just the national accred, then be warry of it being a diploma mill. If it has neither, dont bother, they are likely run by a cult.
What I feel is going to happen is that companies will stop viewing that degree as favorably and pick applicants with stronger credentials. Worst case is that people with social science degrees from florida schools wont be able to breaking into job fields related to the degrees that are having the state intervene on the subject matter, but that will take years to notice if it happens at all.
I think you mean "regional accreditation" (e.g. https://sacscoc.org/ in this case), not "state accreditation." Which is good, because Florida can't exercise complete control over it.
Thank you for the correction, been a long time since Ive been around higher ed.
Are you saying that there are no companies supporting the far-right politics in US? Like entire Big Tech? Fossil fuels? Defense industry? The entire government...
Unfortunately sociology does not seem to have A singular nationwide accreditation body (like ABET for STEM).
I mean the accreditation for the university itself should be pulled, as the state exerting that level of control calls the credibility of the entire institution into question.
In what world would that work?
Not all sociology professors are left leaning and universities are controlled by TP USA. Anyone breaking the rule would be quickly suspended and most likely prosecuted. Do you think there's not enough room in prisons to fit sociology professors? Or that they are essential workers and the state would not function without them?
Half of Americans agree whit this shit. Florida would (and probably will) simply become the go to place for fascist to get a degree.
First of all, so what? It has to be done anyway. You have to resist, not just bend over and take it.
Second, the accreditation of Florida colleges is not controlled by Florida. Even if they've gone insane, entities outside of the state still get to judge them.
First of all, not many people will decide go to prison in protest. Easy for you to say to do it. Would you be able to do it? How are you resisting what's going on in US? Are you writing this from prison?
Second, if entities outside the state will judge Florida colleges why would people have to go to jail in resistance? Won't those entities force Florida to revert this?
If you truly think half of the US is down for this, the propaganda is working on you.
Have you seen the results of last elections or were you asleep?
I did see them, yes. And I feel like you're maybe not very good at math.
So you think by 'half' I mean literally 171185316 people. Yeah, you're right, it's not exactly half. You won this argument. Congrats.
How strange, I could swear this goalpost wasn't here a second ago.
It's ok buddy, I said you're right. Half of America is not anti-woke. You can move on.
Lots of fascists already have degrees and they got them in business school or political science.
That's where the real "meat grinder" social structures come into play.
