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.
Florida is a failed Fascist State.
Teach a class called “why woke sociology was made illegal” and go over all the things the law prohibits and what woke sociology used to say about it, so that students “understand the law”. Surely it’s not illegal to know the law, is it Florida? Do you want to make it illegal to know the law, Florida?
A healthy and broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
Fuck you USA, try to finally do something useful and pull yourself together. The whole planet is suffering because of you, you start to be more worse than Russian, and that’s not easy to do. Rest of the world is already hating you and your government, when are you going to stop this madness?
And I guess this isn't "cancel culture"?
Not just sociology..... I am on the Board of a non profit that promotes science education.... Chemistry, geology, astronomy, etc.
We have to do this because Florida has gutted most science curriculum.
Students that graduates with a liberal arts degree from an anti-speech state like Florida should be viewed as having the equivalent of a high school education.
Unless someone intends to stay in-state and thinks some mark of stupidity will help them with other stupid people, why not transfer at this point? What a waste of time and money for impacted students.
What's next? Will the white trash jesus states demand Biblically correct flat earth astronomy textbooks and pass poorly written laws demanding that too?
Florida is a deathcult
Soon there will be a standard boiler plate statement that excludes people from floriduh from applying for jobs elsewhere.
You’re assigned X book, but we will only be reading the table of contents. I’ve prepared 12 supplementary documents that we will be using each week as your main reading.
Time for the good professor to leave Florida. OR, more to the point, dig in his heels and write articles such as this and teach them as well. He - and all the Sciology teachers in Florida at the moment - are in a totally teachable moment and it can be leveraged against the diminishment of educational standards that are pulling America down, giving foreign government economic advantage, leaving our military open to greater attack, and countless other ills when a country falls to rank classism..
Schools have always been propaganda machines, but the propaganda has shifted completely to 100% ignorance and hate.
You used to be able to learn actual science. History too, albeit with an AMERICA IS GREAT focus.
Future editions of "Lies My Teacher Told Me" are going to need to be multi-volume sets like encyclopedias.
