Imma be honest, someone with the title “chief diversity official” doesn’t need to be in the education system

if its a private college they can be as woke as they want on private land.. but if this is a government school I think they should remove wokeness from the curriculum and clean it up so it doesnt look bad on the community.

Why is the governor making this move? To adress what issues? This wasnt sufficiently fleshed out on either side.

College of "free thinkers" only if you think the way we do.

Gonna break some conservative hearts here, Liberal arts aren't particularly tied to politics. They're academic subjects, such as literature, philosophy, mathematics, and social sciences.
