Florida Professor Fired for Teaching Racial Justice Lessons.

English professor Samuel Joeckel was fired from Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida after his contract was not renewed for teaching racial justice lessons in his class. Joeckel claims that his dismissal was influenced by the "toxic political ideology" of Governor Ron DeSantis, who has pushed back against racial justice teaching in schools in Florida. The university declined to comment, but a petition has gathered more than 300 signatures from current and former students supporting Joeckel and opposing his firing.
