Students on college campuses across the state of Florida are planning a walkout on Thursday to protest Gov Ron DeSantis’ policies targeting LGBTQ+ and students of color.
The walkout, which is being organised by the Florida College Democrats and Dream Defenders, is scheduled from noon to 1pm on Thursday, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. The students will call on the state to restore funding diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programming following Mr DeSantis’ announcement earlier this month that he plans to cut funding for them at the state’s public colleges and universities.
