DeSantis calls Delray Beach parade cancellation 'malicious compliance' as city cites new anti-DEI law
Delray Beach, Florida, has canceled its 2027 St. Patrick’s Day parade and Pride Festival, citing a new state law that restricts municipal funding for activities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Governor Ron DeSantis criticized the city’s decision as 'malicious compliance,' arguing the law does not mandate such cancellations. Mayor Tom Carney is seeking private sponsors to revive the events, though no commitments have been secured.
