This panel examines the Florida Board of Governors’ 2024 decision to remove sociology as a core course. Four sociologists will discuss the decision’s context, evaluate the American Sociological Association’s response, propose strategies to engage skeptics, and seek audience input on the role of government intervention in addressing perceived ideological capture in academia.
