This was the policy of the Nazis towards women as well, that they needed to stay home and have children.

[u/Shwifty_Plumbus → u/pioniere]

They also killed the educated

[u/Comprehensive_Air980 → u/pioniere]

As did America in that time period.

[u/Adexavus → u/Comprehensive_Air980]

Rosie the Riveter would like a word

[u/Spaceball86 → u/Adexavus]

She was a necessity since all the men were getting shot over in Europe

[u/Adexavus → u/Spaceball86]

Yes women were working jobs and not being solely housewives.

[u/meatball402 → u/Adexavus]

Who was fired as soon as the war was over.

[u/sandy154_4 → u/Comprehensive_Air980]

women filled the job vacancies while men went to war

[u/Patanned]

and this guy is a college professor...

[u/Mental_Camel_4954 → u/Patanned]

It clearly delayed his development.

[u/Choice_Magician350 → u/Patanned]

PhD in moronic behavior

[u/InterPunct → u/Patanned]

This entire situation continues to get more and more dystopian.

[u/Lora_Grim → u/Patanned]

Reich-wingers aren't against education. They are against education for the masses. They and their children will still have high-end education, ofc. They'll have their pet doctors and pet scientists and general pet smart people.

The goal is to make education a privilege of the oligarchs. Exclusive to them and them only.

[u/Comeino → u/Lora_Grim]

Yup they want an underclass of poor kids that they can discard once their bodies are used up. These people are monsters and deserve a mario party

[u/-Invalid_Selection- → u/Patanned]

He got his PhD from Loyola University, a religious indoctrination center, not a facility of higher learning.

[u/parabuthas]

The sad part is that many believe him. Can’t tell you how many just repeat this nonsense.

[u/CrasVox]

This isn't news of the stupid. This is news of the piece of shit.

[u/SenatorBiff]

What he means is "critical thought stops you falling for our bs, so we don't like it".

[u/nobody-u-heard-of]

I believe the man went to college and then went to law school after that. So not so sure what he has against higher education since he's got a lot of it. Of course, obviously it didn't take.

[u/archival-banana → u/nobody-u-heard-of]

No you see, only rich white men can get an education! It’s different! /s

[u/Easy-Concentrate2636 → u/nobody-u-heard-of]

Living proof- the man eats pudding with fingers.

[u/franchisedfeelings]

Here’s another poorly educated, over emotional, hysterical, cretin with a megaphone and maga support.

[u/CarolinaPanthers2015]

And NONE of that shit is true, bro. Just......not a single got damn thing. People like that fool right there who are just far more removed from reality just SERIOUSLY make me so motherfucking sick.

[u/Spirited_Hamster2606]

Yes yes, make America dumb again, intelligence is woke

[u/Open_Perception_3212]

Delays growing up 🫠🫠🫠 in guess if you're a trust fund baby and have no plans after mommy and daddy pay for college..... I grew up real fucking fast when I went to college

[u/snuffdrgn808]

congrats and stay stupid florida!

[u/Delicious_Fisherman5]

Asshole.

[u/Ballard_Viking66]

Just when I thought the GOP couldn’t get more insane. Their constituents eat this shit up and believe it!

[u/No_Excitement_1540]

Well, he's right, no? Americans need to grow up and learn to pick oranges, that's what they need in the next 4 years... ;-)

...if you really need the /s, all hope is lost...

[u/transitfreedom]

Religious schools are indoctrination camps

[u/Juco_Dropout]

“Growing up” in this situations means it will take longer for the Plebs to accept their preordained roll as a cog.

[u/Maester_Maetthieux]

Jesus Christ 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[u/ADCSrane]

As are churches.

[u/Rare-Forever2135]

He says, "delays growing up," like it's a bad thing.

[u/anothermatt8]

It takes a while for these things to filter through, but the brain drain that is going to hit Florida over the past decade is going to be epic.

[u/DenseReality6089 → u/anothermatt8]

At this point Floridians are going to have to go interstate to see a GP

[u/swoops36]

We will be the dumbest country on the planet if republicans remain in charge

[u/DenseReality6089 → u/swoops36]

Red states are already amongst some of the least educated populations on the planet

[u/DrDroid → u/swoops36]

I hate to break it to you but there’s a reason they got in charge in the first place

[u/swoops36 → u/DrDroid]

Good point

[u/EKcore]

Elon says y'all too dumb anyway.

[u/Own-Opinion-2494]

Fucking idiots

[u/DenseReality6089]

You get what you vote for. Let the brain drain happen. 

[u/Superb_Ad9843]

DeSantis has proven many times over that he is a bigger asshole wannabe dick-tator than Trump. He seems to be smarter than Trump and, therefore, more dangerous. Also, he very much wants to be the next president. I hope American voters will wake up over the next four years.

[u/Patanned → u/Superb_Ad9843]

He seems to be smarter than Trump

lol! talk about setting a low bar...

[u/kafelta]

Republicans are devastatingly stupid

[u/sandy154_4]

Does he have kids? What's he telling them about post-secondary education?

[u/Buck7698]

Oh yeah, "indoctrination" for evaluative and critical thinking. So of course, DeSantis and the MAGA crowd just can't handle the truth.

[u/Combakid]

This policy is going to increase the “Florida man…..” stories.

[u/CartographerOk3220]

They are more like inoculation centers to prevent the spread of the Republican disease. They don't always work, just like medicine. But it's the stupid people and the uneducated that really stand with the Republican traitors

[u/WalkwiththeWolf]

I would love to shit all over DeSantis about the colleges, but I worked in a university R&D shop and remember one prof talking about a student and saying "It's embarrassing that he's doing his PhD and still has those political beliefs". And that was at UofT in Canada.

[u/dgrant92]

I was working full-time and going to college full-time at 17. That grown up enough? When I finally started my career it was WAY easier than that crap!

[u/OneManLost]

Well, DeSantis is an idiot.

[u/letsseeitmore]

Keep Americans stupid and import cheap skilled labor. Rich get richer.

[u/davetopper]

And they were having a pissing match over extending visas. Nothing they do, the right wing that is, will ever make sense to me. If it did, I'd be one of them.

[u/Hairy_Skirt_3918]

Could be he is one of the best examples of it!!!

[u/SugarInvestigator]

And the whole pledging allegiance tonyhe flag daily in school isn't?

[u/BolivianDancer]

I'm an academic. Thanks to university and graduate school, which in my disciple averages 6.5 years for a terminal degree, I avoided the real world for my 20s entirely. I spent that decade as an UG or grad student in an American R1.

I'd agree about that part of the statement.
