Default Univ of FL forced to love Jeb
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/04/11/bush-education/

Quote:
Two weeks ago, the University of Florida voted to deny Jeb Bush an honorary degree. By a 38-28 vote, the faculty Senate rejected the former governor’s nomination, citing concerns about some of Bush’s education initiatives...

Upset by this lack of Jeb Bush adoration, the conservative-controlled House Schools & Learning Council voted yesterday to force the university to rename its education school the “Jeb Bush College of Education.”

Over the faculty’s opposition, the school will now have “to erect ‘suitable markers‘ noting the college’s new name and include the revised name in all university documents, including catalogues and brochures.” The lawmakers acknowledge they “came up with the idea as an answer” to the faculty’s denial of Bush’s honorary degree.

Then all of their best athletes would get accused of rape by liberals who hate white people or kids or something!

That's not much of an option.

No, most of them are not white. Therefore the liberals that hate white kids will leave them alone.
