As Twitchy reported, progressives freaked out when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis named Christopher Rufo to the New College of Florida’s board of trustees. The Sun-Sentinel has decried DeSantis’ brazen, arrogant, hostile takeover of New College; in other words, he’s trying to turn it into a respectable institution of learning and not an indoctrination center.
In January, DeSantis announced that the state would stop funding for DEI bureaucracies in all state colleges and universities, including New College. The elimination of New College’s Office of Outreach and Inclusive Excellence sent director Yoleidy Rosario-Hernandez packing, and ze lashed out at Rufo about zir firing in the Washington Post.
New College of Florida has fired its former DEI director, Yoleidy Rosario-Hernandez ("ze/zir"), after abolishing her department. Rosario-Hernandez lashed out at me in the Washington Post, but I wish her well and hope she uses the opportunity to develop useful skills. pic.twitter.com/qd6fdr7OyV

Rosario-Hernandez spoke with the Washington Post about zir recent termination, and Rufo responded:
Rosario-Hernandez’s “false and inflammatory comments to The Washington Post,” he wrote, “are further confirmation that President Corcoran made the right decision” in terminating Rosario-Hernandez’s employment. Rufo added that he hope this “period of unemployment” would give Rosario-Hernandez “the opportunity to develop real work skills, instead of fomenting hysterical racial grievance narratives.”
“Useful skills” 🎯lol

“who uses ze/zir pronouns”
Good for them. I do not use these fake words, though, and I expect everyone to respect my beliefs on this matter. Otherwise, they’re being a bigot.

It’s going to be awesome when President DeSantis names you Secretary of Education.

Every DEI director should be fired.
— François Picard (@amiralpicard) March 11, 2023
Academia, corporate offices, gov agencies (fed state & local) even DoD, all have DEI offices down to the divisional level.
These metastasizing Soviet style Zampolit political officers will lead to our utter ruin as it did for millions in Russia unless we excise the cancer now.

Yoleidy certainly hit the Leftist-Progressive victimization jackpot – the only natural outcome for her was a career in DEI 🤡 https://t.co/hicG2djCwc pic.twitter.com/Z4zXoM4xdI

Ze needs to be reprogrammed.
