This is a key point that most people don’t seem to understand: “Yes, public university professors, such as those at New College, have a First Amendment right to promote gender pseudoscience—but they are not entitled to an unlimited state subsidy for that speech.”
Great to hear that the incoming freshman class is so robust. As a lifelong resident of Florida and a University of Florida graduate I clearly remember the reputation of New College from its inception being that of an easy curriculum which attracted the laziest students very few of which became well schooled productive citizens. Kudos to you and all your hard work!
Good ! The DIE program needs to DIE ( change in the letter sequence deliberate) ! It’s nothing but propaganda .
The “ Gender Studies “ is also just a bunch of anti - science hogwash , and not worthy of a college course! Other colleges should follow your example . This is coming from a former liberal! Many of us have had it with the authoritarian gender cult!
What a commendable job you have done. Congratulations! You are a bright light in a dark storm of our Nation. For my birthday, it was your new book I requested
On our library shelf. A toast to today’s encouragement and a crucial hope for our next generation.
Absolutely and unfathomably based, strikes right at the heart of the Cathedral. You are quite easily one of the most effective activists on the right, if only we had more like you for the counterrevolution.
You don't need to appeal to Gender Studies being a politicized field, tho it is. The Trustees have the right and the obligation to direct the strategy of the university. That includes choice of the fields it will teach. The Trustees can and should eliminate the biology department, if they think that is an inappropriate field for the college. Or, they might add a Central Eurasian Studies. That is not a matter of academic freedom at all. The Trustees decide policy; the faculty implement it. If the Trustees tell history professors to teach American history a certain way, that might implicate academic freedom, but not if the Trustees just tell the history department to teach American history instead of women's history or Chinese history.

Great progress! Congratulations on having the courage to make decisive reforms. Very encouraging
This is definitely the good news story of the day!!Congratulations!
Damm. This was good to read. Kudos.
It's really good to hear that many students and educators are eager to join the New College on the next leg of its journey. I am not surprised!
I would have selected the Iliad instead of the Odyssey, but either way, Homer rocks!
Keep up the good work.
Truth will prevail, though it might be a long, hard struggle to get there.
Great work! Makes me happy to subscribe.

Finally someone who knows how to go on offense for a change!
