"Florida Universities' Controversial Decision: The Future of Sociology and DEI Programs"

Florida's state university system has eliminated sociology as a core course, replacing it with a "factual history course" following a decision by the board of governors. This move, supported by Governor Ron DeSantis, has sparked outrage from sociology professors and the American Sociological Association, who argue that the decision was made without evidence and undermines the scientific study of social life. Critics view this as part of a broader effort to challenge liberal orthodoxy in education, with concerns raised about the potential impact on sociology departments and student enrollments.
