Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed into law legislation allowing college students to record class sessions for potential complaints about professors who violate their freedom of expression.

“It used to be thought that a university campus was a place where you'd be exposed to a lot of different ideas,” the Republican governor said at a June 22 press conference. “Unfortunately, now the norm is, these are more intellectually repressive environments. You have orthodoxies that are promoted, and other viewpoints are shunned or even suppressed.”
