    Did you actually read the article or are you dismissing it based on the source? Just asking.

    I didn't read that article, but I have read enough of the censorship claims that I am sure this is no different than all the other fake calls!!

    I am all for the privatization of all education with lower ROIs that don't teach employable skills. I'm not against people and their intellectual pursuits, but I fail to understand why the state has to be involved in that.

    The hate is strong with you. I'll reiterate, the NAACP FL travel advisory is a joke. Anyone actually thinking that it's real is very dumb. No other way to say it. Hell, the Chairman of the NAACP lives in Tampa. So either he's choosing to live in a racist state or he's full of shit. Anyone with a brain knows he's full of shit.

    Yes I agree that DeSantis being a terrible leader could possibly impact the success of UF, hopefully the WOAT (worst of all time) governor steps down soon.

    The exact type of crude jokes you’d expect from the MAGA contingent

    The NAACP travel advisory is somewhat of political stunt. That being said the DeSantis move towards censorship is real. As far as the Chairman of the NAACP is concerned and although it's almost like tilting at windmills given DeSantis and rubber stamp gerrymandered legislature, the political culture of a state is best changed from within.

    LOL. I guess that's your way of saying it's complete garbage. Both sides gerrymander. I'm sure you have posted about dems gerrymandering as well, right?

    Seems like a weird argument to make that the South cant be racist because black people live there.

    What? Take a lap.

    This is why no one believes that traveling to FL is racist. The media/far left is trying to paint a picture that everyone is racist(except the far left LOL).

    And he apparently thinks the chairman of the NCAAP should have immediately moved as soon as DeSantis started turning the state into a right-wing shithole.

    Or the chairman of the NAACP is full of crap and doesn't believe the partisan rhetoric. Also, what is the NCAAP you quoted? Is that a new LGBTQ faction?

    It's interesting that more people are moving to Florida than anywhere. Must all be white people...

    I'll reiterate. Anyone thinking this is anymore than a political stunt is beyond dumb.

    Interestingly, when the Dems tried extreme gerrymandering in NY and Maryland they were slapped down by the courts. In the NY Court of Appeals (the State's highest court) upheld the extreme gerrymandering that the Dems tried there is good chance that the Republicans may not have ended up with their House majority and that we wouldn't have had George Santos to kick around.

    Oh, so only a few states gerrymander? Both sides do it. It shouldn't happen at all. Anywhere.

    Look at all the racists moving to FL! I mean this is comical at this point trying to say FL is racist.
