DeSantis signals he's the biggest GOP turd by signing repressive laws at New College.

"Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation Monday banning state funding for diversity, equity and inclusion programs at Florida's public universities, staging the event at New College of Florida, which the governor has transformed into a conservative higher education experiment.

A New College board revamped by DeSantis abolished the school's DEI office, and the college's interim president recently fired the diversity dean, a precursor to what other Florida universities could experience under SB 266, which was a centerpiece of DeSantis' aggressive legislative agenda this year."

To demonstrate maximum cruelty, he signed the legislation at New College of Florida, the public liberal arts college he's taken over to create a Hillsdale South. His visit there wasn't publicized ahead of time, probably to prevent the crowds of protestors who would have greeted him if they'd known he was coming.
