  There is a lot to unpack in that article but the spirit of the bill seems to be to expose professors who are forcing their politics on students by making voluntary surveys available. Do you think we should tolerate teachers who attempt to indoctrinate vulnerable students?

    The current SCOTUS seems to be fine with coaches coercing teenage athletes into public prayer sessions, overturning a previous SCOTUS ruling. Meanwhile, I find it ironic that the same state enacting this "intellectual diversity" law has specifically banned teaching critical race theory in public schools. A voluntary survey invites participation bias; respondents will likely skew heavily toward the "I feel I am being indoctrinated/I feel uncomfortable voicing my beliefs". The spirit of the law aside, this law looks like a lever to pull funding from universities where the median Floridian, who votes Republican, would feel like their views are being challenged.

  Schools are already giving such surveys in the name of DEI. I agree such surveys are problematic from a first amendment standpoint. But what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
