The only reasonable response to this is for every sociology professor to blatantly flout the law. This must continue until either the state backs down, or it becomes impossible for anybody to get a degree in Florida that includes required sociology classes because there’s nobody left employed to teach it.
Additionally, every college in Florida should lose accreditation over this.
State accrediation is usually harder to get than the national one. When looking at schools (if you give a shit on where the degree is from) the state accred is what your looking for. If it has just the national accred, then be warry of it being a diploma mill. If it has neither, dont bother, they are likely run by a cult.
What I feel is going to happen is that companies will stop viewing that degree as favorably and pick applicants with stronger credentials. Worst case is that people with social science degrees from florida schools wont be able to breaking into job fields related to the degrees that are having the state intervene on the subject matter, but that will take years to notice if it happens at all.
I think you mean “regional accreditation” (e.g. https://sacscoc.org/ in this case), not “state accreditation.” Which is good, because Florida can’t exercise complete control over it.
Thank you for the correction, been a long time since Ive been around higher ed.

Are you saying that there are no companies supporting the far-right politics in US? Like entire Big Tech? Fossil fuels? Defense industry? The entire government…
Unfortunately sociology does not seem to have A singular nationwide accreditation body (like ABET for STEM).
I mean the accreditation for the university itself should be pulled, as the state exerting that level of control calls the credibility of the entire institution into question.
In what world would that work?
Not all sociology professors are left leaning and universities are controlled by TP USA. Anyone breaking the rule would be quickly suspended and most likely prosecuted. Do you think there’s not enough room in prisons to fit sociology professors? Or that they are essential workers and the state would not function without them?
Half of Americans agree whit this shit. Florida would (and probably will) simply become the go to place for fascist to get a degree.
First of all, so what? It has to be done anyway. You have to resist, not just bend over and take it.
Second, the accreditation of Florida colleges is not controlled by Florida. Even if they’ve gone insane, entities outside of the state still get to judge them.
First of all, not many people will decide go to prison in protest. Easy for you to say to do it. Would you be able to do it? How are you resisting what’s going on in US? Are you writing this from prison?
Second, if entities outside the state will judge Florida colleges why would people have to go to jail in resistance? Won’t those entities force Florida to revert this?
If you truly think half of the US is down for this, the propaganda is working on you.
Have you seen the results of last elections or were you asleep?
I did see them, yes. And I feel like you’re maybe not very good at math.
So you think by ‘half’ I mean literally 171185316 people. Yeah, you’re right, it’s not exactly half. You won this argument. Congrats.
How strange, I could swear this goalpost wasn’t here a second ago.
It’s ok buddy, I said you’re right. Half of America is not anti-woke. You can move on.
A healthy and broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
Not just sociology… I am on the Board of a non profit that promotes science education… Chemistry, geology, astronomy, etc.
We have to do this because Florida has gutted most science curriculum.
You’re assigned X book, but we will only be reading the table of contents. I’ve prepared 12 supplementary documents that we will be using each week as your main reading.
Schools have always been propaganda machines, but the propaganda has shifted completely to 100% ignorance and hate.
You used to be able to learn actual science. History too, albeit with an AMERICA IS GREAT focus.
Future editions of “Lies My Teacher Told Me” are going to need to be multi-volume sets like encyclopedias.
And I guess this isn’t “cancel culture”?
Soon there will be a standard boiler plate statement that excludes people from floriduh from applying for jobs elsewhere.
At this point, Floridians are probably too dumb to even vote.
Just like Oklahoma.
