Florida Republicans pass controversial bills on pronouns and diversity in schools.

Florida Republicans passed bills preventing the use of pronouns that don't correspond to a person's sex and banning diversity programs in colleges. The bills are expected to be signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis, who is building on his conservative agenda ahead of a potential White House bid. The legislation also bans schools from teaching gender identity and sexual orientation up to the 8th grade and allows challenges against school books deemed inappropriate. A separate proposal bans colleges from using state or federal funds for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
