Muzzled by DeSantis, Critical Race Theory Professors Cancel Courses or Modify Their Teaching

@ProPublica A good follow-up would be exploring the number of professors who have left Fla. and Ga. colleges for institutions in other states.
@dsrotenstein @ProPublica as a person who has a niece going to college in Florida, the scarcity of good professors is appalling.
