A new Florida Republican education bill would turn Gov. Ron DeSantis' vision for higher education into reality by limiting diversity efforts, removing course offerings in subjects like Critical Race Theory and Gender Studies and forcing state colleges and universities to shut down diversity programs.
House Bill 999 filed by Representative Alex Andrade, R-Pensacola, would prohibit public colleges from funding any projects that "espouse diversity, equity, and inclusion or Critical Race Theory rhetoric" and also proposes that the board of trustees remain in charge of all faculty hiring.
