What would you say if you saw it in another country?
@brendannyhan indoctrination camps posing as universities. Will he introduce a Little Red Book for the students to follow?
@brendannyhan "mission aligned" guessing that mission is straight white male supremacy. Rufo thinks he's slick.
@brendannyhan “Oh, I guess Twitter is working in that country”
@brendannyhan Maybe Karl knows something that I don't, but I'm not aware of Rufo being an employee of any university. He's an activist that basically invented the fake threat, and branding of CRT, as the bogeyman for looney right wing droolers, but he's not in a position of power within academia. No doubt, he's dangerous, and his voice has a reach that it shouldn't.
@DavidGMorrison1 @brendannyhan a google search describes him as “senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute”
An Ideological Test at Florida’s New College

New College is not a weak target, and if Christopher Rufo wants to challenge an entrenched bureaucracy, then he will have a fair fight.

The Atlantic
@brendannyhan I would ask what is the mission he's looking to align beyond providing higher education? My god we're talking about a public university here, not a conservative summer camp.
@brendannyhan I wonder if he lays awake at night, designing the uniform he'll wear when he calls his legions forth to conquer for the Mission.
@brendannyhan he is such a terrible person

@brendannyhan Um...great stuff you have there, but needs alt text? For low- and no-vision people who use screen readers.
I just shared it and @PleaseCaption is nagging me.

Just edit it to add alt text to explain the image. For an all-text image like this, an OCR app is handy -- I like the google-chrome add-on "OCR Image Reader."

@brendannyhan

I'd say "Yay! Rufo emigrated!"

@brendannyhan
"Gott in Himmel, zhey're back!"
@brendannyhan for me America is "another country" and seeing the political trends since Reagan i am honestly surprised this didnt happen decades earlier.
@brendannyhan “sounds like America”
@brendannyhan Rufo is the guy who keeps coming up with things to define “woke.” He even admitted misrepresenting CRT so that anytime the topic of black people or racism was brought up the public who would think CRT. So disingenuous and dangerous. In a DeSantis White House Administration would Rufo be Secretary of Education?
@brendannyhan "ideologically-captured" and "mission-aligned" are semantics, making the statement self contradictory
@brendannyhan Maybe a Democratic state could start appointing atheists to faith school boards as a form of balance?
@brendannyhan remember, this is the guy who originated the CRT hysteria which then was used by THE ENTIRE MEDIA to sway the governor election in Virginia
@edgeoforever @brendannyhan “We have “decodified” the term” - publicly admitting they are misrepresenting the meaning.
@brendannyhan Gleichschaltung, 2023 American edition.
@alapite @brendannyhan where is William Joseph Blazkowicz when you need him, cause he wouldn’t put up with this shiat for one damn second
@brendannyhan oh that's an easy one - I'm from another country and I think it's hilariously bad.

@brendannyhan what a fascist shithole country!

Never going there!

@brendannyhan oh I just saw you asked "if you saw it in another country"....
@brendannyhan This guy is at New College in Florida. At what point do we just snap Florida off and push it out to sea?
@brendannyhan I'd hope he's talking about neoclassical economics, but I fear he isn't :(
@brendannyhan fucking fascist is what I think. America is no longer my country, thankfully.
@brendannyhan what mission? To ignore the sins of the past? To make a white christian nation? We should be more like Iran?
@brendannyhan this nonsense will stop when people present their FL degrees outside of FL and are laughed out the door. if DeathSentence wishes to become bring about Gilead to America’s wangus, that’s on him, but the rest of the state is gonna roast him alive when the true consequences of his actions kick in full force
@brendannyhan It's hard to reply intelligently when no information or links have been provided to reputable news sources. At least that I can grok from reading your post and clicking a bit. What university is this? In which country? A random Mastodon poster says something about it being a public university... Am I missing a link to click, or has the background not been provided?
@brendannyhan Horrible, but please use alt-text.
@brendannyhan holy sh*t. And coming soon to a red state near you.
