FROM THE TAMPA BAY TIMES: “Saying the course promotes ideology, the State Board of Education on Friday removed sociology from the list of general education offerings available at Florida’s 28 public colleges. The board’s action follows a similar move by the State University System Board of Governors, which also left sociology available as an elective but not as a general course. State Board commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas said, “General education is not an experimental space for disciplines that cannot meet clearly defined academic standards,” he said. “Despite all of our efforts, sociology continues to be a sinking ship.”
State universities in FL strip sociology from General Ed requirements.
