DeSantis pushed for the law to prevent “indoctrination” in university classrooms, but some professors say it instead made Florida’s students look like “they’re incapable of original thought.”

The controversial law was signed by Florida's Republican governor in 2022, but an injunction by a lower court prevented it from being implemented in college classrooms while the legal battle ensued.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged the changing political landscape for diversity initiatives in the U.S., but added that he didn’t believe there should be any legal issues with the league’s policy.

Attorney General James Uthmeier claims the policy encourages teams to hire nonwhite coaches, which would violate the state's employment laws banning discrimination.

Florida lawmakers passed a bill banning local government DEI initiatives. Officials violating the measure could be removed from office.

A bill that would ban cities and counties from actively participating or funding DEI — diversity, equity and inclusion events — passed the state Senate Thursday.
