I'm a college professor cheering on this great American pushback against woke education

The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (DEISJ) movement has infected America’s education system — from pre-school to medical school. As a college professor, I’ve had a front row seat in watching the total devastation the DEISJ push has wrought on education and, ultimately, our country.

But behind the tragic spectacle are glimmers of hope: a state-level movement to demand accountability from public colleges and universities in how much taxpayer money is funneled into DEISJ initiatives and, more importantly, to put a stop to the toxic waste.

Florida got the ball rolling in what I think could be a "Great American Pushback" against DEISJ prioritization and indoctrination in our Higher Education institutions. In December, Governor Ron DeSantis made headlines for requiring the state’s public universities to report DEI expenditures. Despite the predictable outrage and misreporting from leftist media, Oklahoma and South Carolina soon followed with similar requests for accounts of spending.
