DeSantis appointee to university board says women should become mothers, not pursue higher ed

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.

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