Ah the youth :)
That's a good segue
“As an 18-year-old, I remember thinking, ‘What are you doing here, dude?’” one former student said.
Ms. Minis said that when she was a senior, the fall after Mr. DeSantis left, she found a memo on a teacher’s desk reminding the staff that fraternizing with students was inappropriate, even after they graduated.
This is Governor Ron DeSantis, 20 years ago, when he was a teacher at a private school. These are apparently some of his students. New York Times reports.
"Mr. DeSantis’s office did not respond to requests to discuss his year at Darlington, or his students’ recollections. The governor does not include his year as a high school teacher in many of his official biographies, and does not appear to have spoken publicly at length about his time at the school."
“Mr. Ron, Mr. DeSantis, was mean to me and hostile toward me,” said Ms. Pompey, who graduated in 2003. “Not aggressively, but passively, because I was Black.”
She recalled Mr. DeSantis teaching Civil War history in a way that sounded to her like an attempt to justify slavery.
“Like in history class, he was trying to play devil’s advocate that the South had good reason to fight that war, to kill other people, over owning people — Black people,” she said. “He was trying to say, ‘It’s not OK to own people, but they had property, businesses.’”
"The Civil War was not about slavery! It was about two competing economic systems" he can be heard saying according to NYT obtained video.
The school confirmed DeSantis taught classes, 2 sports, and performed 'dorm duties.'

I can laugh and eyeroll at a lot of shyte in politics but this actually boils my piss. This morning I woke up to the headline that Nikki Haley called for US Senator Raphael Warnock to be DEPORTED, at a Herschel Walker rally on Sunday night.
She's not just the fmr. governor of SC, or a fmr. Ambassador for Trump early in his term, but she's a board of trustee member for Clemson University and as an alum and having much ties to the University it incensed me that these would be her comments, she also received an honorary degree from the university in 2018 yet displays a total lack in second degree thinking.
The campus is on fall break, but I've been in touch with the secretary of the university president to solicit a comment from him about the matter who assured me he would receive the message. I also got in touch with a former president of the Clemson staff senate for her response (clear disapproval) as well as the alumni association and the board of trustees administrators office.
