Florida colleges to pull sociology from general education offerings
Saying the course promotes ideology, the State Board of Education on Friday removed sociology from the list of general education offerings available at Florida’s 28 public colleges.
With its unanimous vote, the board directed trustees at the 23 schools that included sociology on their course lists for 2026-27 to remove them as soon as possible. Those include St. Petersburg College, Hillsborough College and Pasco-Hernando State College.
Students who have already completed the course to meet general education requirements will not be penalized, education commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas said.
The board’s action follows a similar move by the State University System Board of Governors, which also left sociology available as an elective but not as a general course.
Kamoutsas said he recommended the move in part to ensure that students in Florida’s higher education system have consistent academic expectations, noting that more than half of college students continue at state universities.

"consistent academic expectations” is what they’re calling brainwashing now? Guess we can all save ourselves a lifetime of debt for higher education, then, because this ain’t it. 
This is dysfunctional, and it's caused by them. They are responsible for it, and they don't even want us to talk about it now.
