Florida Professor Fired for Teaching Racial Justice Lessons.

TL;DR Summary
English professor Sam Joeckel's contract was terminated early by Palm Beach Atlantic University after a complaint from a student's parent about his lessons related to race. Joeckel had been teaching about racial justice for 12 years, but administrators accused him of "indoctrinating" students. Joeckel believes the school has been impacted by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' campaign against "woke indoctrination" in education. Students and alumni have condemned the discipline measure, arguing that the school is going against its own values of unity and academic freedom. Joeckel plans to pursue legal action against the school.
