Bad enough we’ve got the bitches who started that Moms for Liberty garbage here (on the school board—STILL!), but DeathSantis’ goons have destroyed what used to be the most unique and forward-thinking college around. Luckily, my daughter didn’t want to suffer through another liberal arts curriculum (New College or Ringling) or she would’ve been a victim, too—or more likely, one of those protesters who managed to be such a PITA that the powers that be would’ve found a way to make an example of her. *eyeroll*

They’ve made so many changes to the school (athletics?!), I don’t see how it can possibly be put back to rights.
