I’ve wondered how long we’ll go before universities across the country start refusing to accept Florida high school graduates because their coursework does not meet basic acceptance criteria. I can see the Ivy league starting first because they have a legitimate reason to want their incoming freshmen to have top-notch coursework under their belt so they can hit the ground running, and once the first domino falls I’d imagine lots of universities would rush to join the chorus. If Florida officials want their kids to learn that slavery was good and that rainbows don’t exist, then fine. They’re disqualified from attending tertiary institutions whose history and sociology instruction is predicated on those things being bullshit. It’d be no different from some crazy-ass wingnut homeschooler trying to get into Harvard after having taken classes like “Cell Biology and Jesus”, “Why God Made Calculus”, and “The Physics of Heaven” from their mom.

This is exactly what DeSantis and his ilk want. Conservatives are scared shitless of their kids going off to university and finding out that their parents and schools have been lying to them their whole life.
Solution: Ensure no out-of-state schools will accept your students so they’re stuck in your shitty system forever.
I remember a homeschooled kid the first year of college. Their whole life was turned upside down. Couldn’t finish the year, then they enlisted. Never heard what happened after
While this would make a big statement, the real victims would be innocent teenagers. Arguably we should be doing the opposite and trying to get as many of them out of that state as possible.
I don’t understand why the education curriculum is not set at a federal level. It’s not like 2+2 ever equals 14, no matter what state your from.
Meh. If it doesn’t directly impact them or their families, conservatives won’t give a shit. So I say make it very real for them, and make it clear their children are learning a version of history that significantly undermines their academic and professional careers. Harvard doesn’t owe them shit, and Karen McBurnaBook won’t pay attention to a word you say until little Annie can’t get into college and has to take remedial classes at the community college to qualify for an out-of-state 4-year institution. Maybe that way Annie will be forced to stand up to her parents’ bullshit antics when they show up at the school board meeting to call everyone a pedophile.
You want to make an omelet? Gotta break some eggs, unfortunately.
You do realize that there are non-conservative children currently living in Florida?
