students and faculty to be "surveyed" about their "political views".
My first question: what happens if your response to the survey is "pound sand!"
My second question: if their jobs or scholarships or grades depend upon "answering right", will not most learn to give Hannity-like responses?

I also think the chocolate ration should be increased to 23 grams from 25 grams.

(24,412 posts)that they know that this is all unconstitutional but passing the stuff anyway makes them feel (temporarily) like they've "owned the libs" and ensure their rabid right-wing base's loyalty in the next election- and sometimes at least a few people will be hurt by the laws while the legal processes are ongoing.

(26,068 posts)State Senator Lori Berman asked and was told the surveys will be sent to the .edu addresses, will not be anonymous, and when asked how the info would be used was not told how it would be.
So, students will be safe, because they pay money, tenured faculty and unionized faculty may be okay, secretaries, custodians, library staff, etc. will probably be fired. Well, laid off for budget reasons. Or, the library budget will be slashed, the English Department same, etc.
It may be thrown out of court, but it goes into effect July 1, and the first survey will be given right after the start of Fall Semester in mid August.

The Florida government is off it's hinges and can't move right enough fast enough to suit the Republicans. Pay attention folks, DeSantis may be your next president.

Does this law address eight of these?
