Red State: Leaked Document: DeSantis Puts the Screws to DEI Programs With New Regs
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is implementing regulations to dismantle the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) regime at state-funded colleges and universities. The new rules restrict the use of funds for organizations that discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or religion. DeSantis argues that the legislation promotes diversity of thought and protects Florida's progress in higher education.
The legislation also establishes special institutes focused on civics and expands their authority in hiring faculty and curating curriculum. The United Faculty of Florida opposes the law, claiming it infringes upon academic freedom and turns educational institutions into partisan indoctrination factories. The law also ends lifetime tenure for tenured educators, requiring regular reviews instead.

The Scottish National Party (SNP) faces numerous challenges in its pursuit of Scottish independence. After setbacks including legal rulings and electoral defeats, the party's new leader, Humza Yousaf, must work to regain support and overcome internal divisions. The SNP's latest strategy relies on winning a majority of Westminster seats in order to negotiate another independence referendum, but polls suggest they may suffer heavy losses in the next election. Yousaf hopes to convince more Scots of the benefits of independence by linking it to the cost-of-living crisis, but the party's own record in education and healthcare undermines their arguments.

Qatar plays a significant role in empowering Hamas through its funding, arming, and training of the terrorist group. Qatar's international media conglomerate, Al Jazeera Media Network (AJMN), provides Hamas with international legitimacy and strategically tailors its messaging to appeal to Western audiences.
