8. Attended the meeting--these guys are handpicked DeSadist henchmen

ready to MAGAfy a public college in the Hillsdale College/Bob Jones University image. Spiers is clearly out of his depth intellectually when faced with student questions. He sold his Colorado software firm and moved to FL, was going to retire but "God had different plans." So he started a private Christian school to rake in tuition bucks, using primarily Bob Jones University Press texts. He said he was bullied by the media, or somebody, when he asked on twitter whether the on-field collapse of football player D. Hamlin was related to the COVID vaccine. So, that's who's qualified to run a university in 2023 in Florida? And he wants the board of trustees meeting to start with a prayer--and you better give him the freedom to do that, or he'll cry victim.

Rufo is glib piece of polished conservative talking points. He made it clear that money for the school will dry up, and the place will be closed, if DeSadist' wishes are denied and the school remains as it is. Students, parents, faculty all know what's going to happen--Christofascist takeover, because the elected leaders have made these decisions.

Glad I went to the meeting, because they want us to shut up, stay home and let them takeover, and it's tempting when the fight seems hopeless. But the few dems and liberals left in the state won't give up (yet).
