  1. More enablers to Meatball Ron's bullying

  2. So i guess we solved racisim

  3. Finally!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

  4. So when you take an airline flt would you rather have a pilot to commandeer the heavy or a baggage handler without training in the front?

  5. Sound's like ABC doesnt approve

  6. Great job florida, one step closer to sanity….vote Biden and dems out they have done enough… boarder economy energy police woke and foreign policies and no common sense

  7. Pointless jobs that they were

  8. I understand why it would be hard to let go of the Cry of racism. Then you have to stand on your accomplishments

  9. Feed Ron Desantis to the alligators

  10. If they ain’t gonna base it on race then they better start basing it on income or only rich people will get to go to college.

  11. Great news!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  12. DEI brainwashed students 😢

  13. It is about time that everybody's on an equal playing field and people are chosen on their merits , not just the color of their skin or their sexual orientation of being a man or woman.

  14. I think the key word is inclusion. We have had EEOA policies since the 1970s, extending policies from LBJ. Nearly 60 years or 3 generations of these policies. I have very mixed feelings about these DEI policies. Are we holding people back to give less qualified/experienced candidates a leg up? Are we giving someone 1st place so they can be the first ____, or is first really going to the person who can do the best job? Are these processes excluding top candidates because it is assumed they had more opportunities? How many white men are getting scholarships solely basef on the criteria that they are a white male? Most colleges would have a problem with this. They have to earn scholarships based on merit (yes I understand that many unqualified white men get Legacy scholarships, which is a problem as well). There is a national decline in men attending college and graduate school. The majority of new college and professional degree holders are women. Are we intentionally excluding white men for the "sake of diversity?" Professional music auditions are now held behind a screen (a blind audition). Interviews are typically given to the top 2 or 3 performers. At no time prior do the adjudicators see a resume, name, age, race, religion, disability status, or sexual identity. If you ask any musician who has held tenure in an orchestra for over 20 years, they will tell you that their ensembles are more diverse than ever before. Now more than ever, music has become accessible to K12 students from all backgrounds. And yes these jobs are awarded based on Merit. The top performer wins purely based on merit.

  15. Publicly financed racism has to go away. Nice job, Florida.

  16. Dang! Florida is lucky! Way to go sunshine state!!!

  17. How is it Indoctrination if students are choosing to actively attend university? Do they think these Floridians are that stupid that they'll believe misinformation, lies, and propaganda aimed at distorting the truth?
    Oh wait yeah 🐘

  18. Terrible.
    They are studying black to figure out how to defeat them.

    Florida Sheriff's and government officials sex traffic.

    We can not have the N's succeeding in life. That means they won't go to prison.

    DeSantis is a foreigner himself.

  19. That's what colleges and universities need. More staff and administrators. Because lord knows students aren't paying enough. Give those students some extra required classes on gender studies, pre-pubescent trans theory, and the history of pronoun verbiage.
    I want to see all admin staff driving Mercedes-Benz next year.

  20. Very good.. no more toxicity… weak men don’t like this

  21. Cool most minorities major in Math, engineering, and science. Have fun with History, business and art majors. 😅

  22. You shouldn't get a NO because of your skin color and you shouldn't get a YES either.

  23. Good Riddance DEI Discriminates its biased like google. We should not pay for Others fake eyelashes & fake braids 😂

  24. Finally, some common sense.

  25. This is good news! It's hard to pass a test when all you got to cheat from are Dei on the left, Dei on the right! It take 10 years to get a degree like that!

  26. Reporting from a Disney owned company. This should be fair and balanced.

  27. Absolutely the correct thing to do…why the communist democrats insist on creating divisiveness in every way, shape, color, and form is near treasonous…

  28. Now people can sue for workplace discrimination.

  29. Racist assholes! Every last one of them!

  30. Dirty swamp lizard state

  31. Rom 3:23
    For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    Rom 6:23
    For the wages of sin is death;

    Psalms 9:17
    The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

    Acts 8:37
    And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

    Rom 10:9
    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    Corinthians 15:3-4
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

    Ephesians 2:8-9
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

  32. You're turn, Disney! 😏

  33. Okay FSU- now it’s your turn!

  34. BOYCOTT FLIRIDA AND THERE FASCIST ACTIONS AND GOVERNOR. NO CHILD SHOULD ATTEND ANY college in this racist and anti democracy state. DeSantos is a dictator and the Republicans are fascists. BOYCOTT ALL FLORIDA BUSINESSES. INSTITUTIONS, TOURIST SITES. DONATIONS. ETC. This is the typical Republican plot of only educating the wealthy and to heck with public education. They are purely evil.

  35. Black man who hates his own dark skin. Wants to be accepted by the racist white republican community

  36. I hope students now look towards blue state schools to spend their tuition. Let these schools go bankrupt.

  37. How does DeSantis get away with all of this?
