The Florida state House this week advanced a bill that would ban state colleges and universities from using funds to “promote, support, or maintain any programs or campus activities that espouse diversity, equity, or inclusion [DEI] or Critical Race Theory rhetoric.”
The bill would also allow the state’s board of governors to remove “any major or minor that is based on or otherwise utilizes pedagogical methodology associated with Critical Theory.”
The bill, H.B. 999, was passed by the House on Monday. The Florida state Senate must now pass its version of the bill, S.B. 266, before it can head to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ desk.
Naysayers worry that its language is too vague and could be used to ban activities promoted by multicultural student unions, Black fraternities and sororities, courses in Jewish history, women’s studies and LGBTQ+ studies.
Remember this when it’s time to vote this November!! #BWLM💕
