RUFO CONTINUES TO GIVE THE DEVIL A RUN FOR HIS MONEY
Buckle up folks, because we have a real devil of a man on our hands. Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, is causing quite the stir with his efforts to abolish the Gender Studies department at the New College of Florida. And let me tell you, this guy is giving Lucifer a run for his money.
As a trustee, Rufo has some serious power when it comes to college governance. And boy, oh boy, has he been using it to suppress speech and ideas that he doesn't agree with. You know who else did that? Viktor Orbán's authoritarian government in Hungary. Yep, you read that right. Rufo is basically Hungary 2.0.
But wait, it gets even better (or worse, depending on how you look at it). Rufo is trying to justify his actions by saying that universities should be an environment of open, substantive debate. Um, excuse me sir, but how is abolishing an entire field of study promoting open debate? This guy's logic is as twisted as a pretzel.
It's like Rufo thinks he's the gatekeeper of knowledge or something. Newsflash buddy, you're not. In a free society, universities must allow for a free marketplace of ideas. And public universities should be insulated from direct political control. But I guess that's just too much to ask from someone who's clearly on a power trip.
I mean, come on. Gender Studies isn't hurting anyone. It's just trying to understand the complexities of gender and how it intersects with other aspects of identity. But I guess Rufo doesn't want anyone to have a deeper understanding of themselves and others. He'd rather just stick his head in the sand and pretend like everything is rainbows and unicorns.
But hey, maybe we're being too hard on Rufo. Maybe he's just misunderstood. Maybe he's secretly a big fan of Gender Studies and just wants to abolish it so that he can have it all to himself. Or maybe he's just trying to impress his high school crush who once told him that she was majoring in Gender Studies and he didn't know what it was.
Whatever the case may be, one thing is clear: Rufo is the devil in disguise. And if we let him continue down this path of authoritarianism, who knows what other fields of study he'll try to abolish next? Mathematics? English? Pottery? The possibilities are endless.
So let's all come together and tell Rufo that enough is enough. Let's stand up for academic freedom and the pursuit of knowledge. And let's do it all with a smile on our face and a witty quip on our lips, because if there's one thing that can defeat the devil, it's a good sense of humor.
