What could go wrong?!

Anyone here going to school in Florida or know anyone who is? I'd be very interested to know what questions are included in this survey.

It's not only about the questions being asked but whether answers to those questions will then be misused, against schools whom politicians have some type of intellectual grudge.

Unnecessary fear, loathing and worry about 'indoctrinations' which do not exist can easily be promoted to some constituants by political powers in situations like this.

Universities not only require persons to present and explain their different points of view, but to defend them. It's part of the intellectual process to do so. A politician labeling mind-broadening discussions and inquiries as indoctrinations is misguiding constituents and mislabeling what education is and does.

Maybe all 'liberals' currently employed and educated at these Florida schools need to omit answering these surveys, thereby skewing the answers toward the conservative side and leaving Florida politicians happier at the survey results.

Hence my sarcastic question: What could go wrong?

I wonder if part of what they're aiming for is determining which schools are more conservative so as to focus on those areas during elections - sending people to push voter registrations, placing additional manned ballot drop boxes on and near those campuses, etc.

Also, I just came across this statement to the Kentucky interim Joint Committee on Education by Commissioner Jason E. Glass.

https://www.kentuckyteacher.org/news...9_2zlhhcviTfis

Not only did he say why Kentucky should not move forward with laws similar to those currently being passed in other states (to ban CRT), but he briefly explained the potential repercussions, stood up for the educators in his state, and provided a solution and compromise.

Bravo!
