Florida, under Gov. Ron DeSantis, has increasingly stood up to the cancer that is wokeness in government and public education, and now is joining Texas in the purging of praxis from the administration of public colleges and universities.
His plan:
His full speech discussing higher education reform:
Hopefully, such initiatives spread to other states.

In the hopes of encouraging a more civil, and illuminating, discourse, here is another episode of William F. Buckley, Jr.’s “Firing Line”.
How much has politics in Texas changed over the past fifty years? A lot! Let’s see just what Texas politics was like half a century ago with William F. Buckley, Jr., Frances Farenthod, Beryl Milburn, Ronnie Dugger.
Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.
The focus this time: For young girls, Abion is perfidious.
First, a little mood music:
Carrying on…
Apparently investigating crimes are racist when Pakistani men might be caught and prosecuted… and their victims just young White girls.
“An Asian grooming gang was free to roam the streets and abuse young girls because police officers were told to “find other ethnicities” to investigate, a detective has claimed.
“At least 57 young girls are thought to have been exploited by a paedophile network of around 100 suspected perpetrators based in south Manchester in the 2000s. The gang, mainly comprised of Asian men, hooked their victims on drugs, groomed, and sexually abused them. One girl, aged 15, died after being injected with heroin by a 50-year-old man.”
However, not being White isn’t enough. Sikh girls are also targeted because they weren’t Muslim.
“Gangs of predominantly Pakistani men have been grooming British Sikh girls for decades, according to claims in a bombshell report.
“The study alleges that young Sikh women have been ‘targeted’ by Muslim men who subjected them to sexual abuse.
“The report by the Sikh Mediation and Rehabilitation Team charity found that police ‘recklessly ignored’ complaints – often for reasons of ‘political correctness’.”

The entire LGBTQ&c. political agenda used the venerable claim to privacy and tolerance, yet is increasingly turning out to be driving and controlled by the nakedest ideological totalitarians. And as most totalitarians need a symbol of their power over you, so the LGBTQ&c. Nomenklatura use the so-called “pride flag” as a symbol of their dominance.
Ernst Röhm was ahead of his time.
The state as co-parent or even primary parent of a child is a concept that isn’t unknown to the West. But is is but fascinating when Western parents praise Communist China for making their children subservient and obedient… superficially to them but ultimately to Leviathan. After all, what kind of person would unabashedly say “I had to accept that my growing belly had become community property”?
“We weighed the pros of the Chinese route (our girls would learn fluent Mandarin and, hopefully, a broadened worldview) and the cons (exposure to Communist Party propaganda and potential social isolation of being foreigners in a group of Chinese students). We took the plunge.”
Meh, what’s a little Commie indoctrination, after all?
“Our stringent government co-parent quickly made its presence felt. The girls’ Chinese kindergarten lectured on us everything, including how many hours our daughters should sleep, what they should eat and their optimal weight. Each morning all of the students performed calisthenics in straight rows and raised China’s red flag while singing the national anthem. Classroom windows were usually kept open to increase air circulation and prevent contamination by airborne illnesses, even during winter, when the kids would attend class wearing their coats.
“We sometimes felt as if our children were on loan to us for evenings and weekends, to be delivered back to school each weekday.”
And how they loved that their little tykes were Leviathan’s Children.
“Over time, the benefits kicked in. Constantly served up moral, history and culture lessons on pulling together for the sake of the Chinese nation, our girls came home discussing self-discipline, integrity and respect for elders.”
And, of course, the parents praised their Commie overlords.

My apologies! Recent real life stuff and responsibilities have unfortunately curtailed posting as of late. I’ll try to adjust and try to post a bit more regularly.
As an apology, here is a live kitten cam.
Colleges and universities have become the fountainhead of wokeness that is increasingly poisoning society. Not just in the classrooms, but it is also the administrations of these colleges and universities which have turned their entire institutions towards the singular goal of wokeness. The Manhattan Institute, via Christopher Rufo, Ilya Shapiro, and Matt Beienburg, have introduced model legislation to stop public colleges and universities from existing to spread wokeness through “Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity” offices and training.
There is a lot that state legislatures can do to reverse the illiberal takeover of higher education through Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) offices that, ironically, stifle intellectual diversity, prevent equal opportunity, and exclude anyone who dissents from a rigid orthodoxy. Here are four proposals for reforming public universities:
Abolish DEI bureaucracies.
End mandatory diversity training.
Curtail political coercion.
End identity-based preferences.
