The DeSantis administration’s latest culture war fight over a college-level psychology course is sending Florida schools scrambling to figure out how to handle the confusing standoff, with just days to spare before students return from summer break.

    You got me, I didn’t quote the whole thing because I didn’t think it was relevant.

    Article 5, paragraph 3, sentence 2 states:

    The freedom of education does not relieve [the individual / the teacher] from being loyal to the constitution.

    Nazism isn’t compatible wtih loyality to the constitution. Neither is religious schools teaching hate.

      See that’s more sensible.

      Still there’s benefits for setting minimums in educational curriculum across a nation.

        You’ve encouraged me to look into this further. Apparently, I interpreted these freedoms wrong. They seem (in my limited undestanding) to be more about research and university teaching than “regular” schools. That is, researches can look into anything they want, but teachers can’t teach whatever they want.

        There are curriculums, issued by the individual states, that are binding for schools and teachers. This should’ve told me immediately that education can’t be as free as I thought.

        I agree with you that there should be “minimums in educational curriculum”. There’s an ongoing debate that education should be more standardized across the states, but as it is now, even different schools within the same state have different exams that are not all equally difficult to pass.

        A minimum education standard would be inclusive not exclusive like what Florida is pushing.

        There’s a clear difference.
