Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is set to appear before a friendly conference of conservative Jewish leaders in New York City on Sunday, despite efforts by gay rights advocates to get the event — which comes during Pride Month — canceled
At the time of the bill signing, DeSantis said schools were a place for “an education, not an indoctrination.”
The museum cited security issues among its key concerns, plus a desire not to host political speakers, but in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, the leaders of the Tikvah Fund, the group organizing the conference, accused the museum of having a political litmus test. “The new czars of cancel culture seem to have little such moral imagination or civic tolerance,” they wrote.
“When we declined to host the event, Tikvah resorted to threats, saying we had created an enemy. Tikvah knew that this was not about banning anyone from speaking but decided to make the false claim anyway. We will not respond to such political bullying,” Jack Kliger, the president and CEO of the museum, wrote.
