A new bill protecting “intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity” in public colleges and universities in Florida was passed Wednesday by the Florida state Senate.

The House Bill 233 was passed on a 23-15 vote and has already been sent to Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Tampa Bay Times reported. The legislation will require post-secondary educational institutions to survey students, faculty and staff about their political views and prohibit universities from limiting speech that “may be uncomfortable, disagreeable or offensive,” according to the document.

The wording's old ladyish and I don't like the sound of those surveys, but who knows -- it might make a dent in the academic Stalinism.

See 1st Amendment.

Would assume DeSantis would sign. The question is whether it will be enforced.
