So everything is going according to plan for DeSantis, right? Because that’s exactly what he wanted - all the “woke” folks in education gone.
- Lack of education is a conservative's biggest ally...so yeah.
- Florida's new state motto should be "Because we Can't Stand Mississippi and Alabama Always Taking the Bottom Spot"
  
  Remember the glorious days when a guy high on bath salts eating another guys face was a weird day in Florida?
  
  Yeah me neither lol.
- Yep, they won't be missed.
  
  Neither would you.
  
  I see you everywhere with your bullshit.
  
  Except they already are. Imagine having a governor and government so objectively bad that they think that driving higher education away is a positive. Congrats, you delayed or destroyed your next crop of nurses, doctors, and engineers.
This is what happens in third world countries and flyover states. Seems like Georgia is going the other direction. These people can just move a couple hundred miles north.

  Pretty soon they'll have to rebrand to Disney's Underwater Adventure, and The DeSantis Amphibian Force will be waging war on Alabama and Georgia for a few yards of dry land.
Not too surprised. I imagine many black students do not like his decision.
Interesting coincidence! "I'm not wanted" also happens to be Ron's campaign slogan for the 2024 Republican primary.
