Governor Ron DeSantis views Chinese students, particularly those engaged in graduate research, as a major national security risk and potential vector for Chinese Communist Party (CCP) espionage. His administration has actively implemented stringent policies to restrict their presence, hiring, and influence in Florida's educational institutions.

He signed a 2023 law (SB 846) prohibiting public universities in Florida from partnering with entities in China and six other "countries of concern". This effectively blocks faculty from hiring Chinese graduate students and postdocs as research assistants, a move that is currently facing legal challenges in federal court.

K-12 School Choice Restrictions: DeSantis directed the Florida Department of Education to pull state scholarship funding from private schools suspected of having direct ties to the CCP, citing threats to student welfare and indoctrination concerns.

H-1B Visa Crackdowns: He directed the Florida Board of Governors to halt the use of H-1B visas at state universities, following audits that claimed Chinese individuals were brought in to discuss public policy with students.

At the national level, DeSantis has explicitly opposed proposals to expand the number of Chinese students studying in the U.S., stating he would "rather have none" because of the perceived risks of intellectual property theft and espionage.

When I was 11 years old I had to tell my friend Clint Stoerner fumbled the ball away to Tennessee.

Mikka is basically a Trevon clone. A very nice piece to have, as long as we can pair him with a couple true power bigs.

Looks like a less athletic version of Trevon Brazile without the 3 point shot.

Brazile’s 3 point shooting this season was just good enough to give him the green light but not good enough to where anyone felt good about him taking those shots.

I would sue them, refuse any settlement offer less than $10M, and ask a jury to make an example of them, which they almost certainly would. Sucks that such a process would take at least a couple years, but such is war.

False. Apollo 8 in 1968 did it first.

A milligram of antimatter meeting a milligram of matter would release as much energy as a small nuclear explosion.

I’m glad these scientists had fun though.
