Excerpt:
"Following a mandate by the Florida Board of Governors, the University of Florida has fired all DEI (diversity, equity & inclusion) staff, effective immediately.



"To comply with the Florida Board of Governor's regulation 9.016 on prohibited expenditures, the University of Florida has closed the Office of the Chief Diversity Officer, eliminated DEI positions and administrative appointments, and halted DEI-focused contracts with outside vendors," reads a statement from Provost J. Scott Angle.

"Under the direction of UF Human Resources, university employees whose positions were eliminated will receive UF's standard twelve weeks of pay.

Approximately $5 million in funds previously allocated to DEI initiatives will be reallocated into a faculty recruitment fund."

    I have heard much talk and scuttlebutt about a Constitutional Convention.
    Sounds like a grand idea, and I would think a conservative state like New Hampshire would be all in with both feet.
    But it has been defeated. Twice.
    What's up with that?

    Don't go away mad, DEI. Just go away and take your shallow as hell no content of character skin color racism with you.

    I'd settle for about 30 in secession and individual freedom.
    Then watch as socialism in the remaining 20 bring them to the reality of the final bankruptcy of socialism.
    The elites will never give up and will continue to use socialism to enslave all who consent.

    Good Riddance to DEI crap. We are wasting precious resources on this kind of thing while China and Russia and Iran are preparing for war and strengthening their economies. We are living off deficit spending.

    I let out a cheer of approval when I first saw this story. Florida may become the new Texas or Idaho, if they keep this up.
