Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
America is going to have to purge its ruling class if it's going to recover from these years. So many institutions are getting deeply corrupted and the culture of markets without limits has to have significant limits placed on it.
Grifters and conmen are criminals not people to be enabled and raised up.
This was a terrible seizure of the college to begin with (in case it being Desantis and Florida wasn't enough of an indication).
They basically came in, fired a bunch of professors and canceled classes mid-program, shafted students who wanted to and had been attending, opened a ton of sports scholarship opportunities (despite the college not really having competitive teams), and restructured the senior dorms for the jocks just coming in. One student was told to just change their major after all their professors were fired.
So "anti-woke" takeover really meant cutting STEM programs and (as one official put it) increasing the testosterone levels on campus.
If you ever need to see a doctor you better hope they studied in a blue state (or Cuba).
The dude is a frustrated hitler too, the amount of corruption he is performing in Florida is insane. He might be competing with trump on how to be the worst hitler and evil person in power.
He expedited my exit from Florida. I don't understand how the citizens couldn't find anyone better than him to "serve."
Well he just got rid of the state insurance right as global warming is going to devastate the state. You got out at a good time, it's going to be hard to sell your home when people realize how that's going to effect them.
How dare the leopards eat MY face!?
They brought in like 70 baseball players on sports scholarships and they don't even have a baseball field. There's something like 12 catchers.
I hope the students sue the daylight out of him
One of the first things the Nazis did was go after educators professors and colleges...
the cons of living in florida vastly outweigh the pros. it's a miserable shithole state full of elderly rich republicans and mosquitoes. i don't know if there's any amount of money you could pay me to live there again. if you're loaded enough to blow a few grand to take your kids to disney, go ahead, but you'll be happy to gtfo afterwards
I would pay the kind of money that people pay to go to Disney to not have to go to Disney.
i got the poor people's package a long time ago and as someone who loves my beer, i didn't buy a single drop at epcot because it was like $10 for 8oz--and that was well over 15 years ago
I went to a Phillies game last week and paid $20 for a beer. At least it was a 24 oz. can and at least it was so fucking cold there was ice inside it, but still.
I lived in Florida longer than anywhere else. There are no pros.
I live in Canada and still meet older Canadians whose goal is to retire to Florida, even after all we've seen from THE USA in the last decade. I don't understand these people.
My cousin and her husband have a winter home in Florida. They were considering selling it until COVID. The pandemic forced them into social isolation and they realized that Florida is bearable if you don't interact with any of the people there. Just walk on the beach and have your groceries delivered.
It's warm most of the year, and that about sums it up.
A friend of mine lived all over the country between work and the military. He says Floridians are the dumbest people that don't know they're dumb (opposed to other States where they're fully aware of how little they know).
and the further south you go, the worse people drive. by the time you get to miami, it's almost like lanes don't even exist
i mean it's not alabama or mississippi?
but yea. truly a vile cesspool armpit of a state that has nothing to offer that can't be gotten in a not-shithole state
Isn’t this the school that now has 100++ baseball players but doesn’t have a baseball team?
A bit more about New College of Florida and all the bullshit they've already had to deal with
This will lead to even more brain drain from Florida. Good luck with your absolutely fucked economy, asshats.
Really sounds like this should result in a massive class action lawsuit, but I wont hold my breath.
Used to live there and went to USF-SM. This bullshit is the reason I left years ago. I saw the writing on the walls.
Fuck Desantis. He should be hung for what he did to Nee College.
So, is this where people can go to be taught that the Earth is a 5,000 year old flat disk, and that Adam, the first human, rode around on dinosaurs (like Jesus intended!)?
Hopefully future employers will simply circular file any resumes with this school on them.
This makes me think of Revenge of the Nerds.
