"Florida Universities Remove Sociology from Core Curriculum Amid DEI Crackdown"

Florida's public universities have voted to remove sociology as a core course, replacing it with an introductory American history course, and prohibiting public spending on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The decision has sparked outrage from professors, alumni, and the American Sociological Association, who argue that sociology is essential for civic literacy and a broad range of careers. Critics of the move claim it reflects a misunderstanding of sociology and its value, while supporters argue that the change prioritizes more relevant subjects for Florida's needs.
