They're appointees, so there is a very good chance they are just incompetent.

The far right's war on higher ed. & esp. the liberal arts is an attack on democracy. Unless stopped, it will play out on many US campuses.

“This is a test case for a conservative overhaul of higher education – and it isn’t going to stay isolated to New College or Florida.”

-Gender St. faculty, New College, resigned Prof. Clarkson.

It would appear that Ron has opted to completely drill his states educational system into the bedrock.

DeSantis' Florida approves classroom videos that compare climate activists to Nazis
https://www.rawstory.com/prageru-florida-2662923106/

From the article:
> These videos use a teenage character Ania, who is concerned about climate change, and has her fears allayed by narrators who tell her that the climate has always cooled and warmed "long before carbon emissions were a factor" — which is true but irrelevant to the current crisis, which is directly caused by emissions of carbon into the atmosphere.

>Other videos attack wind and solar energy as harmful to the environment and unreliable. The material even compares climate activists to Nazis, having a survivor of Hitler's regime compare his own struggle to Ania being criticized by her teacher and classmates after she repeats PragerU's talking points.

WHERE is the religious outcry of condemnation!

Officers working for GOP Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative have been ordered to push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande, and have been told not to give water to asylum seekers even in extreme heat, according to an email from a Department of Public Safety trooper who described the actions as “inhumane.”
