"Florida Lawmakers Push to Ban Pride Flags from Schools and Government Buildings"

Florida state congressman David Borrero has introduced a bill to ban Pride flags from school and college campuses, claiming that students are being indoctrinated with critical race theory, Marxism, and transgender ideology. The proposed legislation would also prohibit teachers from wearing Pride or Black Lives Matter pins. This move is part of a series of attacks on LGBTQ+ rights in Florida, including the recent banning of classroom discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity, restrictions on gender-affirming healthcare, and the banning of books with perceived sexual or inappropriate content. The bill's fate is uncertain as it moves on for discussion in the Florida House's state affairs committee.
