"The bad news is that Charlie Kirk is dead, but the good news is that he's now part of the curriculum. It's been my understanding from people opposed to tearing down memorials to treasonous slavers that the most effective means of teaching people is via statuary-and my alma mater, the New College of Florida, is leading the way, with the announcement that private donors will be paying to place a statue of the late right-wing influencer on campus."
"Living in Florida is like being the canary in the coal mine, if everyone's response to the canary's keeling over is to make fun of it until they pass out and suffocate. Republicans stole an election here in 2000, and everyone blamed us while the perpetrators got busy working out how to rig voting outcomes in their favor in the other 49 states."
Charlie Kirk has died and private donors will pay to place a statue of him at New College of Florida. Florida is portrayed as a testing ground for Republican political tactics that later spread nationwide. Examples cited include the 2000 election theft, gerrymandering despite a fair-districting amendment, and converting restoration of felon voting rights into a de facto poll tax with intimidation squads. The state's anti-woke campaign, vaccine skepticism from Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo, and a chartered, censored public education model are described as templates exported elsewhere. Christopher Rufo’s involvement at New College is linked to broader anti-woke efforts.
