But Florida’s new general education regulations don’t just tilt the pendulum. When ideological limits are imposed on these classes, students are missing out on the opportunity to hear important perspectives. USF’s new general education courses still have to receive final approval from the Florida Board of Governors. This mission becomes harder when there are limitations around what is acceptable intellectual inquiry in general education courses. Therefore, general education courses should provide an opportunity to explore interests and understand the constitutional republic in which we live.
