Bills on Diversity, Gender, Pass Committees

Florida Republicans on Monday advanced two key initiatives of Gov. Ron DeSantis as he prepares for an expected presidential run — banning gender affirming care for minors and eliminating diversity programs in colleges.

The proposals have cleared separate committees but must still win approval from the full House and Senate chambers.

DeSantis is pursing an aggressive conservative agenda on race, gender and education ahead of his expected candidacy, continuing a stance that has made him one of the most popular Republicans in the country.  (Excerpt from Newsmax.com.)
