The Florida Way

Ron DeSantis continues to kill DEI:

DEI "practitioners" are whining that their incomes are plummeting, to which I say, "Good." That their income has been cut in half is what I would call a good start.

MIAMI – A diversity, equity and inclusion leader based out of Miami is reportedly sounding the alarm as the ideology – known as “DEI” – has been clamped down due to the policies of Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican leadership. The Miami Herald reported that the founder of “South Florida People of Color,” Roni Bennett, worries her work is now “limited” by DeSantis’ “Stop Woke Act.” Her revenue has reportedly been slashed in half, from $300,000 per year to around $150,000, since new policies enacted across Florida. “We’re in trouble,” she said. The organization reportedly lacks the funds to run “community events” after DeSantis’ policies took effect, with the Stop Woke Act being signed in 2022. The law cracks down on organizations of various kinds from instituting policies that align with DEI, such as training people that their race makes them inherently bad or evil – a main tenet of DEI.

DeSantis has banned DEI at Florida universities, turned the New College of Florida into a bastion of sanity in a sea of woke mediocrity in academia, and, in the process, created the "Free State of Florida to which thousands of Americans are fleeing. It is an example to the nation and almost gives you hope that America can turn things around with good leadership.

Now it just needs to become nationwide...
