It’s pretty despicable to put a positive spin on something that should rightfully be the subject of horror movies.
And to no one’s surprise (at least those with a brain).
Well, that will make it easier to fill those faculties with propagandists – er, correct-thinking indoctrinators of Florida youth.
Clearly you enjoyed a blissful ignorance of PragerU up until this point. Here’s a few deconstructions of PragerU videos from years ago:
“Slavery wasn’t so bad! Would you like to know more?”
18 freaking years ago, I posted this thread about Christian high schools in California suing the state universities for not recognizing their bogus diplomas.
This is the path Florida has chosen, but a different battlefield of the same war. I’m sorry for the California students back then whose parents inflicted non-education on them and I’m sorry for the non-education Florida’s current and future students will be receiving. I do not see any reason, though, for universities outside of Florida (because, I have no doubt, the state will order Florida universities to accept all Florida high school diplomas no matter how shitty anti-woke lacking in academic rigor) to accept those diplomas as qualifying. It’s quite simple, IMHPO*, if the student has not received the preparatory education required to begin college level work, then the student is not qualified to begin such work and fuck the government that ensured they did not receive that education.
Given Florida’s demographics, I’d think it would be in their best interests to ensure a well-educated rising generation. But what do I know?
*In My Humble Pitesque Opinion
I know I have said it before (somewhere)…
I really hope universities give applicants from Florida extreme scrutiny. They have good reason to believe their education sucks.
I foresee that scrutiny being: Florida? Rejected. Next applicant!
But, not to worry, Floridians. There will certainly be other states in the Confederacy where you can send your ignorati for further brainwashing indoctrination larnin’.
How about “Florida? OK; but the first courses you take will be the remedial history and science courses.”
Some of those kids will be redeemable. And then either they won’t go back home ( = less Florida population = fewer Florida representatives in Congress); or they will go back home but won’t vote and behave in the ways their state tried to indoctrinate them into.
It’s an ugly planet. A prager planet.
Remedial courses cost money to offer. The more students who require it, the more they’ll cost.
I get that reference. 
True. But colleges have been having to offer remedial English courses for many years now, whether under that name or just in effect as English courses teaching what should have been learned in high school. And those of the students who can afford it can be charged for the courses.
Plus which, it seems a lot more fair than ‘oh, you were unlucky enough to be born in Florida? No decent college for you ever, then!’
Oh I dunno…I think that is what Florida state universities should be for. No reason everyone else should have to deal with them.
There’s a difference between a remedial course and taking remedial everything.
“Judaism” doesn’t say anything-- some document within Judaism says, and if it has authority, it will be one of a few important documents. Some of them conflict.
Denominations of Judaism don’t necessarily follow traditions on a national level-- there is permission for individual congregations to follow them or not, as they choose, and still remain in good standing with the national organization. Right now, all but the denominations one could fairly term “Orthodox” in some way are permitted to recognize patrilineal descent. You will still come across individual congregations that do not, but make infant conversions very easy.
It’s Talmudic-- the Talmud being the go-to document for pretty much anything-- that says Judaism is matrilineal (and no, it’s not just because you know who a kid’s mother is). The Talmud also outlines rules for conversion. But most importantly, it says that if someone states he is a Jew he is not to be questioned.
There’s nothing in the Torah that states who is or is not Jewish, and plenty of people there appear to be considered patrilinearly Jewish (the sons of Moses, for example). While not stated outright, the Torah talks as though anyone who takes up permanent residence in a Jewish land is subject to all Jewish laws-- ALL, fasting on Yom Kippur, and such, to which visitors are not subject, even long-term visitors, and that these permanent residents if they are pretty much culturally assimilated, are Jews.
Back to your regularly scheduled thread.
I said “no decent college”. I doubt that Florida state universities are going to be significantly better than their undergraduate schools.
Israel’s rules for the Right of Return deliberately include the Nazi criteria: If you’re Jewish enough to be persecuted for it, you’re Jewish enough to be protected from persecution.
That, plus a modicum of outright lies, are why Russian Orthodoxy is flourishing in Israel now.
Last time I was there, I spoke English, Hebrew and Russian in about equal parts to the people outside my seminar. Tons of signage in Russian, too, in major cities.
I would wager if someone were even less Jewish than 1/4, but still persecuted, which is to say, if some country decided to define the Jewish equivalent of an octoroon-- and yes, I’m invoking that offensive term to show that it’s within the realm of possibility-- as a “Jew” under the law, and relegate those people to specific neighborhoods, have curfews for them, and limit the areas in which they could seek employment-- and make them move to the back of the bus-- Israel might revise the Law of Return.
And it begins:
