Boosting a Communist Witch Hunt

Some Florida Republicans even participated in a Communist Party-connected smear campaign to block three of Gov. Ron DeSantis’s January appointments to the University of West Florida’s 13-member board of trustees.

Students for Socialism and Party for Socialism and Liberation activists at UWF helped create and amplify false claims of “controversy” and “bigotry” with 200-person protests against DeSantis appointee Scott Yenor, according to USA Today.

Yenor is an Idaho professor, prolific scholarly author, and policy hand with a history of facing student protests for publicly stating basic truths such as men and woman are different, feminism hurts society, and family is more important than money.

The Party for Socialism and Liberation is a “revolutionary communist” party that urges “a revolutionary overturn” of capitalism and backs feminist gender theory, according to its website. So Yenor’s many public statements supporting marriage and sex differences triggered protests and false accusations from Marxist students, media, and UWF faculty. Thanks to weak Republicans, their witch hunt worked.

Appointee Adam Kissel, a former Trump administration official, lost his committee vote 5-4 on April 22 Thanks to Gaetz (the punk) and Republican Sen. Jennifer Bradley voting with Democrats. Gaetz represents Pensacola, where UWF resides, an increasingly purple locale that strenuously opposes making college work better for students and taxpayers.
