Alex WildThe fascists who took over Florida's once-progressive New College at the behest of Ron DeSantis have been caught dumping vast numbers of books.
Merilee D. Karr, MD, MFA@alexwild New College has been taken over? By fascists? Goddamn.
Scott D. Strader 😐@merileedkarr @alexwild it started a year or so ago and is as awful as you would imagine. Just as Florida as a whole is a testing ground for a conservative/fascist takeover of the US government via Project 2025, the New College takeover is the same but for US universities. Worth reading about (kind of?):

TLDR: It turns out fascists are incapable of operating a university. Shocking.
Skip Lacaze@sstrader @merileedkarr @alexwild In 1967, New College was the only college that recruited me. It looked interesting, but I went to #UCSC instead. The governance and academic changes being made by Governor #DeSantis will turn it into an intellectual cesspool.
