Florida Students Protest DeSantis Policies

The Florida governor previously announced plans to ban colleges and universities from hosting programs on diversity, equality, and inclusion.

On Thursday, hundreds of students across Florida walked out in protest against Governor Ron DeSantis and his policies regarding higher education.

The students walked out of their classrooms at the University of South Florida, University of Florida, Florida State University, and more, rebelling against DeSantis’ efforts.

The Florida governor previously announced plans to ban colleges and universities from hosting programs on diversity, equality, and inclusion.

The ban also included Critical Race Theory which is a discipline that seeks to understand how racism has shaped U.S. laws and how the laws continued to impact the live of people who are not a part of the Caucasian demographic.

Students protesting DeSantis say they value their academic freedom and stand against the governors efforts to censor educational content.

The DeSantis administration has not yet made a public comment regarding the protest.
