Stephanie Hayes, Tampa Bay Times columnist (May 31, 2026): “The State University System’s Board of Governors despises sociology…. That is why they’re effectively banning the introductory course from foundational curricula at all Florida universities. This and other intellectual cleanup efforts will relieve future generations of the burden of having to think critically. Our brave reimagining of higher education will ensure that conditions in this country stay exactly as they are. Look around. Life is perfect.”
