The next logical step, at least per how it happened in USSR/China, will be asking students to fill out questionnaires about their attitude to BLM/CRT, recording the list of intellectual dissenters and talking to parents and their employers about the problematic behavior of their children. If we get that far, the step after that will be encouraging students to report their friends who've been noticed in insufficient support of the regime.

Do you mean like Florida Republican governor DeSantis just signed into law? Where students and faculty have to submit their political beliefs to the state in a non-anonymous manner?
I've read the bill he signed and couldn't find there anything like that.
Spot on. Reporting peers is already encouraged in many schools and even colleges.
Yes, Republican governor Ron DeSantis just signed a law that requires students and faculty to report their political beliefs to the state non-anonymously. Super scary stuff for sure.
