Florida Republicans approve controversial school bills on pronouns and diversity.

Florida Republicans have passed bills banning diversity programs in colleges and preventing the use of pronouns that don't correspond to someone's biological sex. The bills are expected to be signed into law by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who is expected to announce a presidential campaign soon. The legislative session has been dominated by divisive cultural issues, with Republican allies of DeSantis approving his priority bills on sexual orientation, gender identity, race, and education. Democrats have criticized the rightward shift in policy emanating from the GOP.
