Governor DeSantis’ state continues to succeed in education
The latest U.S. News & World Report concluded that Florida is the best state for higher education.
The rankings look at “the share of citizens in each state holding college degrees, as well as college graduation rates, the cost of in-state tuition and fees, and the burden of debt that college graduates carry,” according to the publication.
The publication also ranked Florida high in 2-year college graduation rate, 4-year college graduation rate and for its students graduating with minimal debt.

I’m beginning to suspect that the left’s call for “tolerance and inclusion” is not really about tolerance or inclusion at all. It’s seems to be more about control and silencing any opinion that doesn’t align with their own.
And by “left,” sadly, apparently Donald Trump is included. He just ripped Florida apart as if it were a dystopian hellhole. He was aiming to tarnish DeSantis, but he tarnished the entire Republican/conservative/small-government/liberty movement. But hey, any lie is OK if it serves the mission of Trump, right?
For another example of the left’s tolerance and inclusion:

“Trans-activists clash with College Republicans after screening of ‘What Is a Woman’ at Kent State”
I’m expecting another mass shooting by a “trans-activist” any day now. The media will once again cover for them by interviewing GIBLET members about the fear and threats under which they live daily where Christian transphobic white supremacists lurk around every corner armed with their evil black guns and hate in their hearts. Much as they did in response to Aubrey Hale’s killing spree.
There might be another agenda factoring in here. US News&WW publishes an annual list of the best schools - I don’t remember all the criteria they use but some of it has to do with the size of their endowment (which IMO does have a bias towards the older schools with massive endowments), average SAT scores and grade point average of students who are admitted, professors’ tenure and accomplishments etc.
Several schools have decided not to provide them with data, and many others are no longer using SAT scores for admission criteria at all. So USN&WW doesn’t have the data it needs to rank them the way they used to.
So maybe USN&WW is shifting gears a little - maybe they will publish multiple reports - this one geared towards other issues like graduation rates, employment rates, debt levels etc. Sort of a strike back against the schools that are putting kids $400,000 into debt while they sit on $40 billion in endowments and have more administrators than tenured professors.
Must be Sasse’s appointment.
Go Gators!
He locked us down and gave billions to the big pharma cartel. His latest scheme is to avoid social security math and pay people, not taxpayers, citizens or women.. just Americans.
He was is and will be a government- corporation crony.
Your criteria for evaluating Trump, are different from other people’s criteria.

Your daily spiel is really cute.
Here’s mine:
“DeSantis is stuck in Orange Quicksand & can’t get his training wheels off.”
“But hey, any lie is OK if it serves the mission of Trump, right?”

Oh my! You don’t think he was lying about Ted Cruz’s dad being involved in the JFK assassination plot do you?
The problem is then Anthony Fauci rolls his eyes and smirks and everyone understands he’s saying, “Can you believe this idiot?” and then appoints himself supreme dictator over America and the last glimmer of democracy dies, and Trump just stands there like a God-damned fool, completely impotent while Fauci dangles his scrotum in his face.
Yeah Trump chumps... having not a shred of credibility matters when your acting Attorney General decides to launch a coup and you can’t touch him and when courts overturn election laws with impugnity and give away millions of votes to fraudulently published ballots.
Yes, Trump chumps: it matters that Trump not come off like a deranged brain-damaged orange clown... and relying on Biden to look like the senile pervert he is just isn’t enough.
Given that a lot of people retire to Florida, I wonder if they are people with higher education and better retirement incomes? Also, is there an age range for this ranking? If they exclude people over 65 or some other high figure, it could certainly impct a number of measures.
There is only one retired person who was in Florida that I have information about. He was a retired rocket scientist and his wife. When they died a decade ago in their 90s they left around $2 million in property to their daughter.

The measures Florida did so best on would seem to have nothing to do with retirees and 100% to do with young people entering the workforce: college graduation rate, affordable tuition, low debt on graduation. It does comparably less well on educational attainment of its residents.
