    That classics standardized test to me is a bit to consider. If I were a classics professor I would be sounding the alarm about being dragged over to the conservative side. If nothing else to stop my field from being guilty by association.

    Aristotle is not on the GOP side. He was on his side. Stop reframing him. Stop claiming him. If you want to know what he said than read it.

      Classics has been a bastion of white conservatism my entire life. I think the number of people in that field who disagree with DeSantis on much of anything is quite small.
