“Do Say No” To Florida Retirement…

5 Dec

So Now It’s Illegal In Florida To Have A Belief… DeSantis And His Followers Are To Blame

It is hard to imagine they could say this without questioning themselves, but this actually happened. Florida’s Stop WOKE Act that DeSantis brought to life made it it illegal for anyone who takes state money, including teachers and most college professors, to espouse that unquestionably accurate belief (“The belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”)

A belief is confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof… faith or trust. I just don’t understand how a personal belief could be made illegal. It would be like making free speech against the law (oh wait, they’ve already done that).

It may not be long before there are rigorous requirements to live in the state of Florida; they could include things like: you must be unquestionably loyal to the far right Republican Party, you have to be really old (and possibly feeble minded), your must be cisgender; you can’t be transgender and you can’t be gay, you must carry a gun (preferably an AR 15), you can’t be an immigrant, you must subscribe to an approved religion and who knows what other fascist requirements might be enforced.

I don’t think I’ll be retiring there.
