A new bill was introduced in Florida that would allow DeSantis to ban gender studies and critical race theory, along with diversity and inclusion initiatives, at Florida colleges
from spending money on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, was filed by Rep. Alex Andrade from Pensacola on Tuesday. If passed, Florida state colleges would be barred from offering major and minor programs in intersectionality, critical race theory, and gender studies.
Core classes would also be prohibited from touching on these teachings or presenting history of the U.S. as “contrary to the creation of a new nation based on universal principles stated in the Declaration of Independence,” the bill reads. Currently, the state’s main university, the University of Florida, features a “Chief Diversity Officer,” along with a “Center for Inclusion and Multicultural Engagement.” The bill would put these positions and centers aimed at fostering inclusivity and diversity at risk.” that would force Florida public colleges to be “grounded in the history and philosophy of Western Civilization.”
