It has been a long and painful month in the Florida legislature for opponents of the state’s Trumpist governor Ron DeSantis and his loyal band of rightwing Republicans. A slew of bills has advanced attacking everything from diversity rights, abortion protections and free speech in schools, in addition to a proposal that would legally shield white people from feeling “discomfort” over the state’s racist past.....
The issues that Republicans see as a priority for Florida are red meat to DeSantis’s conservative base. They include the 15-week abortion ban bill, which received a chaotic hearing on Thursday, and moves to give parents more say over classroom curriculum and control of school libraries. In Polk county this week, education officials went from school to school pulling 16 books flagged by a conservative parents’ group as inappropriate, including Khaled Hosseini’s 2003 bestseller The Kite Runner.
They include bills to strengthen the governor’s fierce anti-immigrant stance .....
And two healthcare bills have been introduced in the Republican-dominated Florida legislature that opponents say further vilifies and isolates the LBGTQ community. One, touted as the vulnerable child protection act, would criminalize professionals who provide gender-affirming medical care to minors; the other would allow any medical professional the right to refuse treatment or procedures including gender affirming surgery or abortions on moral grounds.....
The proposal that has caused perhaps the most outrage is the parental rights in education bill, the so-called Don’t Say Gay bill that would prohibit elementary schools from discussing sexuality and gender identity other than in an unspecified “age or developmentally appropriate” settings, and would allow parents to sue.

Of course, some should not even be issues such as letting children have gender surgery, or teaching them gayness.
Quite a wonderful Agenda that DeSantis and the Pubs are passing. Love it. DeSantis is the man!!!
Go Ron !!!

“Trumpist governor Ron DeSantis and his loyal band of rightwing Republicans”
Right off the top. Why doesn’t the author just write “I am a biased jerk”
Biden occupation: Day 376
“Right off the top. Why doesn’t the author just write “I am a biased jerk””
I thought he essentially did that with the title.
The bills must be right over the target.
Correction: “the Governor’s fierce anti-immigrant stance” should read “the Governor’s fierce anti-illegal-immigrant stance”.
This POS Richard Luscombe thinks he’s safe in his Bolshevik cocoon. He isn’t.
He has no idea what is headed his way. By this day next year, the world as he knows it will be over, finished, caput.
And then begins the trial, judgement and verdict of his ilk.
That evil desantis and his evil minions destroying their dream, how dare you! ha ha ha ha ha ha
I hope that sinks in compared to Donald Trump and his loyal band of DC Republicans. I would hate to see a rerun of Trump 1.
The GUARDIAN??? Spit.
“the other would allow any medical professional the right to refuse treatment or procedures including gender affirming surgery or abortions on moral grounds.....”
The left wants to force doctors to mutilate children and kill babies - that is the left’s idea of freedom and choice.
What kind of anti-democratic nonsense is this - letting parents have a say over what their kids are taught. What about the rights of fasco-marxists.
The author did that when he published in the Guardian, which has been pursuing a worker’s paradise here on earth for it’s entire existence.
desantis for florida governor 2022...
then president 2028...
Reagan was right when addressing the press about a student riot protest at UCLA. " "All of it began the first time some of you who know better…let young people think that they had the right to choose the laws they would obey as long as they were doing it in the name of social protest," he said.

Overwhelming number of minority Americans favor enforcing firm immigration laws. That is not an anti-immigrant stance. These people have got to stop trying to divide Americans.
“...diversity rights, abortion protections and free speech...”
to leftists, terms are always opposite of their true meaning.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anything the Guardian attacks must be good!!!@
