As University World News has reported, since 2021, DeSantis has moved to restrict academic freedom: by trying to prevent professors from appearing in court as expert witnesses opposed to voter restriction laws; signing laws limiting tenure; banning the teaching of Critical Race Theory in universities; overriding the normal (collegial) process of appointing presidents to public universities and instead appointing ideological soul mates; and banning the Advanced Placement history course from high schools because he considered it 'woke' and indoctrinating due to its coverage of slavery and racial issues. F: UWN Maggio 2023.
