Florida bans sociology from core curriculum at state universities - Divisions by zero

cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/57463684 [https://sh.itjust.works/post/57463684] > Florida’s public universities will no longer allow a standalone introductory sociology course to count toward general-education requirements after state leaders on Thursday approved a sweeping, systemwide ban that reflects years of Republican criticism of the discipline. > > The move — which was not originally on the agenda for the State University System’s Board of Governors — will effectively relegate introductory sociology to an elective starting this fall, removing it from the core curriculum taken by most undergraduates. > > It also marks an escalation in Florida leaders’ efforts to reshape college instruction, particularly on topics such as race, gender and inequality, which conservative officials have increasingly targeted as “woke.”
