I'm a college professor cheering on this great American pushback against woke education

As a college professor, I’ve had a front row seat in watching the total devastation the DEISJ push has wrought on education and, ultimately, our country

Nicholas Giordano is a professor of Political Science at Suffolk Community College in New York and a Campus Reform Higher Education Fellow.

Florida got the ball rolling in what I think could be a "Great American Pushback" against DEISJ prioritization and indoctrination in our Higher Education institutions. In December, Governor Ron DeSantis made headlines for requiring the state’s public universities to report DEI expenditures. Despite the predictable outrage and misreporting from leftist media, Oklahoma and South Carolina soon followed with similar requests for accounts of spending. 

Even the governor of deep-blue New Jersey has expressed concerns over DEI spending after Rutgers University increased its DEI spending by a whopping 40.7 percent. Subsequently, Governor Phil Murphy has introduced legislation to force universities to submit an annual fiscal monitoring report.
