"“They did this for a clear reason: my decision to teach and speak about racial justice,” Joeckel said. “The timing of this is not a coincidence as we are dealing with an ‘anti-woke’ crusade from Governor #DeSantis and other far-right politicians and activists. #PBA was clearly influenced by this toxic political ideology.”"

"“I believe this goes against the #Christian beliefs that I hold closely, and that #PBA claims to hold closely,” he wrote. “... Because PBA took these actions, I will have no choice but to pursue my legal options to fight back and show PBA, and other institutions, that they cannot get away with this.”"

tl;dr 20 year prof at Christian College booted after parent of adult students complained class was too woke.

"An incident at Palm Beach Atlantic University is the latest salvo in an increasingly high-stakes conflict over teaching about race in higher education."

"’I've been teaching a unit on racial justice for over ten years at PBA University. Yesterday the Dean and Provost were waiting outside my classroom to inform me that my contract would not be renewed until the university analyzed my syllabi and racial-justice PPT presentations to ensure that I am not”indoctrinating” students."

Oh hey! My alma mater is in the news! Hope it’s not something about them succumbing to the MAGA cult and investigating one of my favorite professors because Der Santis is afraid of simple facts. (Spoiler alert: it’s all of those things)
