In November, the Florida Board of Governors voted to remove the “Principles of Sociology” from the state’s list of approved general-education courses for public-college students. Sociology professors across the state and in the American Sociological Association (ASA) have argued that the decision will prevent Florida students from learning about social structures and their effects on human behavior. Those critics are wrong. Sadly, academic sociology has devolved into a field of ideologues and activists promoting critical race theory and radical gender ideology. Florida should not include it among its general-education requirements.
