  • May 23: Earlier this month, Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation banning state funding for DEI programs in Florida’s public universities. It’s just the latest effort by DeSantis to place Florida’s public higher education system, consistently ranked best in the nation, at the center of his “anti-woke” agenda. We’ve previously looked at how DeSantis’ policies have been changing K-12 education in the state, now we turn our attention to higher ed.

We’ll find out what happened then and look more closely at the complex practical and ethical questions are raised as the right to die movement slowly advances.
