Florida International University’s sociology department opposes a newly mandated textbook that significantly reduces content on race, gender, and sexuality, alleging it constitutes academic censorship.
The changes stem from Senate Bill 266, which restricts courses from addressing theories of systemic inequality and promotes a curriculum void of ‘identity politics’.
Critics, including faculty members and organizations like the Heterodox Academy, argue that the textbook revisions undermine essential sociological concepts and academic freedom.
