If you're a faculty member at The Ohio State University, that conservative university now has workshops for how faculty should act under the state's authoritarian new higher ed law, SB1. The workshops are oriented around the "4Cs of Civil Discourse."

Of why Ohio State’s second most famous alum, Jim Jordan, weaponizes the federal government. Of why Ohio has gone authoritarian in higher ed via SB1 & is currently using an unconstitutional congressional map & is now looking to gerrymander Dems out of their seats again. Ohio is a failed state.

"In the case of land acknowledgements, the ban on factual information is a troubling example of overcompliance to SB1 & a transparent attempt to appease & cower in an anti-DEI moment."

In rural Indiana, I see it. Republicans claiming how they're leaving the party and never voting for R's again. No red hats to be found anywhere. People who voted for Trump at protest, the farmers having nowhere to take their soybeans, dismantling of small communities because of SB1.

sorta feel like light-red states are good places to apply for academic jobs right now because a you have less competition but there's not an immediate danger of them deciding the evolution is woke due to democrats still occasionally being competitive statewide.

Dian Fossey, author of "Gorillas in the Mist":
"Fossey was also a racist alcoholic who regarded 'her' gorillas as better than the African people who lived around them. Her anthropomorphization of the apes was matched by her unceasing belittlement of the area's natives."

Repertorio, now a junior (who transferred after SB1 passed to another school out of OH) said, "I’m not going to be able to learn the things I want to learn when I’m paying for my degree. But also, why would I contribute to an economy in a state that doesn’t care about me? Why am I here?”

Here in OH, they passed SB1
Despite 800 people testifying against -based on DEI propaganda forcing universities to shutter programs and anything to do with normal diversity groups. Its fucking fascism.

I teach in Ohio, where we have SB1, the anti-higher-ed bill that requires us to maintain maximum "intellectual diversity" in the classroom and prohibits us from stating our opinions on any "controversial topic or belief."
Anyway I get the fear, it's definitely real.
