  • For years, political scientist Scott Yenor has advocated for overhauling colleges and universities, which he has argued undermine traditional American families by encouraging women to pursue careers and put off childbirth.

An appointee to the New College of Florida's Board of Trustees by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Dr. Christopher Rufo, has stirred controversy by suggesting that women should prioritize motherhood over pursuing higher education. During a discussion on the "Whatever" podcast, Rufo argued that the traditional role of women as mothers is being undermined by modern societal pressures to achieve in professional and academic fields. He emphasized the importance of women embracing their roles as mothers, which he believes is essential for societal stability and the upbringing of children.

Critics argue that his comments reflect a broader conservative pushback against progressive educational reforms and gender equality initiatives.
