Parental Rights is pretty much always right wing crazies trying to keep their kids ignorant and controlled
Republicans: iT's ScIeNcE
Also Republicans: don't teach science.
DeSantis will literally ban psychology instead of going to therapy.
That’s the easiest thing to do, no way is he going to work on his self awareness. That goes against his values and principles.
An AP psych course 20 years ago is how I figured out what I want to do for a living. That's super depressing because until that point I didn't know you could do brain research as a career.
How does one go about getting into that field?
Step 1) Don’t live in Florida
Most straightforward would be getting BS in psychology, neuroscience, or biology, then PhD in psychology/neuroscience programs or MD/PhD. The exact field varies quite a bit, you can have a background in engineering or mathematics as well. MD/PhD gives you more options in clinical research, regular PhD gives you more laboratory experience but you can always get involved in clinical research. I don't have an MD but I can still collect tissue or do assessments on patients for research in coordination with MDs
I fully expect DeSantis to tell schools to still call it AP Psych only to get bitch slapped in court for it.
I lived in Florida for a couple years before moving back to my home state and I can't imagine having a trans, gay or non-binary child. It's absolutely demoralizing to be in a place that is actively sparking hate against you.
We’re well past that. At this point I can’t imagine having a child in Florida. I keep picturing myself in ten years trying to hire a new graduate, but not being able to accept them as educated
For sure. I escaped with my pregnant wife at the time. We left because their healthcare is dog shit and I absolutely hated the people there. Most of them were transient rich people that treated everyone like shit.
Good for them
Edit: them being the college board
What exactly is good about this? It’s a psychology course. You don’t think that gender and sexuality are included in psychology?
Edit- retracted after op edit
I think they meant good on the AP board for not folding. A cursory look at their profile reveals them to be a lesbian so that’s the most likely explanation here, I think.
That the college board refused to cave. I think it’s a dangerous precedent if they had.
My bad, totally misunderstood.
You wouldn't ban the teaching of material science to a future civil engineer.
You wouldn't ban the teaching of chemistry to a future pharmacist.
You wouldn't ban the teaching of aerodynamic sciences to a future car designer.
Why would you ban the teaching of gender identity and sexuality to a future psychologist if it's a core piece of knowledge required to excel at their profession?
Probably because the people behind these changes by-and-large don't believe psychologists are needed. If you have any problems you should consult your pastor or something.
Pray the cray away?
If you have any problems you're a useful scapegoat. They don't want to give that up.
When is the book burning in front of the institute of gender studies? This parody isn't even funny.
Yeah that’s going to happen in Indiana. Like I have 0 doubt that these people will burn down the kinsey institute in 2025 if trump is re-elected
If he gets reelected I think that's probably what gets lefties to get as violent as the right if he survives that long.
I seriously doubt it. If we're good at anything it's coming to social media to bitch and then do absofuckinglutley nothing about it until people start dying. When it's too late is usually when we riot. :/
Can’t be crazy if there’s no mental health professionals, right? 🤷🏾
They are so lost, such a shame..
Lost assumes they want to go in the right direction. I’m not sure the current leadership qualifies.
Malicious ignorance, they don't know any better because they don't want to.
How does banning teaching of certain topics mesh with the 1st ammendment?
Fuck mini Hitler Ron Deathsantis. The court will likely strike it down.
Name on political move made by DeSantis that isn’t rooted in bigotry, misogyny, or racism.
Seriously. Is this dude from the 1930’s?
As a Floridian, check the history these guys come and go and their policies fade.
For those non Floridians its not as crazy as the papers make it seem, however these policies are crazy. The only Florida Republican to unite black Republicans against him. Even Trump couldn't do that!
