Leave it to real Conservatives to bring back actual Liberal Arts education.

Well done! Short, sweet and right on point. It’s great to see the transformation that’s already taken place at New College.

Great news. Good for De Santis and you. I used to be tenured faculty at the University of Central Arkansas (for my sins, I taught Creative Writing, perhaps the most Woke discipline of all), but took early retirement because the restrictions on freedom of speech and action became unbearable. I portray this, in fictional form, in my satirical novel, Our Parent Who Art in Heaven (Flame Books, 2022)

Counterrevolution. Love that word! Needs to be the mantra.

A great start....and pray that it can in time be scaled up across the country....well - in my dreams - across the entire Western world. Because this is the alternative: https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/how-diversity-narrows-the-mind

Great video...I surely hope this is the beginning of a counterrevolution in academia and beyond!!

Gov. Desantis does not get enough credit for all of the push back and policy changes he has enacted to shut down the cluster B crazies that are ruining this Country....

One less far leftist school, means less idiots/midwits running things.

Great presentation. I hope that this trend can sweep across the globe and get some common sense and education back into our universities and colleges.😍🧡

This is a work of art! Two thoughts occur: 1. I thank God for your background in making documentaries because this medium is powerfully persuasive in our visual age. It's a beautifully crafted miniature. 2. Because it's a documentary (albeit short), one thing emerges that is lost in most of the reporting: this is a beautiful campus. One sees that especially at the end; it's worth watching right through for that. Oh, and here's a third observation: 3. I laughed out loud at your line about "rebalancing the hormones" of the college. Again, it is the visuals of chanting/screaming mini-mobs that make it clear what that imbalance was - in ironic contrast to the three hard left "cowboy/pyro professors" you highlighted (one has to ask: how were so many white male profs permitted?) It's good to laugh again about politics.

I never thought I would want to live in Sarasota, but you guys are making me reconsider that. I'm excited to see the long-term results of the renewal movement at New College!

It would be great to see a collaboration between NCF and Hillsdale...

Make it rain! Spread these types of institutions around the nation.

Build them and they will come.
