New College of Florida Faces Backlash for Landfill Disposal of Gender and Diversity Center Books
Aug 15, 2024, 08:53 PM
The New College of Florida has come under scrutiny for disposing of hundreds of library books in a landfill, including those from the college’s Gender and Diversity Center. This action has sparked significant outrage across the state, with critics labeling it as wasteful and unnecessary. The college claims that they are unable to donate the books due to Florida Statute, although this assertion has been contested. The incident has been linked to broader ideological changes at the institution, which is reportedly undergoing an 'ideological cleanse' following political influence from Governor Ron DeSantis. The Sarasota Herald-Tribune has reported on the event, further highlighting the controversy.
