      I’ve wondered how long we’ll go before universities across the country start refusing to accept Florida high school graduates because their coursework does not meet basic acceptance criteria.

      This is exactly what DeSantis and his ilk want. Conservatives are scared shitless of their kids going off to university and finding out that their parents and schools have been lying to them their whole life.

      Solution: Ensure no out-of-state schools will accept your students so they’re stuck in your shitty system forever.

        I remember a homeschooled kid the first year of college. Their whole life was turned upside down. Couldn’t finish the year, then they enlisted. Never heard what happened after

          Sounds like the system the right would like to institute and they’d be okay with this outcome.

      While this would make a big statement, the real victims would be innocent teenagers. Arguably we should be doing the opposite and trying to get as many of them out of that state as possible.

        I don’t understand why the education curriculum is not set at a federal level. It’s not like 2+2 ever equals 14, no matter what state your from.

          It might be preferable in the current political climate, but think about what might have happened if this was the case 5 years ago.

              Why would you restrict the opportunities of children then? That fucks them over more than the parents, and speaking of which, there are also many non-conservative parents in Florida.

                By not allowing them to receive the basic education requirements to attend college level classes their parents are the ones fucking them over, this would just be a consequence of that…

                  I really enjoy how everyone on this platform circlejerks about helping the poor and then advocates fucking over kids who’s parents can’t afford to leave Florida

                    I really enjoy how people like you feel self-important while doing nothing but complaining.

                    You want to help the kids? Overturn or undermine Desantis’s fucked up policies now, while those kids you’re parading around have a chance. Set up tutoring servers on Discord. Set up online libraries full of banned books and spread the links everywhere. Be the change you want to see in the world. But don’t you dare complain about institutions enforcing basic education standards on its students.

        This part was true. There’s no action that we can take to save them from shit parents if they support this nonsense.
