‘If you want to do things like gender ideology, go to Berkeley’: DeSantis bans diversity, equity and inclusion in Florida colleges
As protesters chanted in the background, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law Monday a hotly contested bill that dismantles diversity, equity and inclusion at Florida’s public universities and colleges.
The law also bans courses that “distort significant historical events,” teach “identity politics,” or are “based on theories that systemic racism, sexism, oppression, or privilege are inherent in the institutions of the United States and were created to maintain social, political, or economic inequities.”
“The government has no role in banning or censoring subject matter in higher education,” Gothard said in April.“Indoctrination drives the DeSantis agenda not because he is worried educators are indoctrinating students, but because they aren’t indoctrinating them with HIS ideology,” state Sen. Shevrin Jones, D-Miami Gardens, said in a statement.
