Florida university to host extremist after DeSantis-led lurch to right

New College of Florida (NCF) will ⚠️host the extremist writer #Steve #Sailer,
who has been described as a
💥“white supremacist” and a
💥“proponent of scientific racism”,
at a college-branded public eventnext month.

New College has made headlines since January 2023, when the rightwing governor,
❌Ron DeSantis, vowed to transform it from a university known for liberal values into a conservative institution,
and installed a new board of trustees including the rightwing culture warrior #Christopher #Rufo.

That board in turn appointed DeSantis’s “close ally” #Richard #Corcoran as the new college president, in which role he makes a $699,000 salary.

DeSantis’s lieutenants’ actions at New College
– like ♦️abolishing disciplines,
♦️removing bathroom signage
and ♦️denying professors tenure
– have seen ➡️ the departure of more than a third of the faculty,
and given rise to myriad legal actions.

But the moves have been lauded by the so-called “new right”,
many of whom see US higher education as a bastion of liberalism that needs to be subject to a rightwing “#reconquista”.

JD #Vance, for his part, has pledged to. 🆘 “#aggressively #attack the universities in this country”.

Even so, Sailer’s invitation to speak is likely to stir controversy for his extremist views, especially on race.

In Sailer’s newly published anthology, Noticing, one essay claims that
an “African population explosion” is related to
a “primal African cult of fertility”.

Another associates “young woman-of-color journalists”
with “Haitian #voodoo and Southern #hoodoo magic”.

🔥Many offer variations on the claim that “Blacks have higher average levels of violent crime and lower average levels of intelligence”.

#FossilFuel #bully: Americans want #driving to be #dangerous and #violent. We buy these #giant #cars because they’re #safer — but only for the occupants of those giant cars. Essentially, we behave as though it is okay to #drive #aggressively and blame #cyclists and #pedestrians for what happens to them.
