Florida’s state legislature gave final approval to a massive education reform bill that targets how teachers and students can use their pronouns in schools, in a move designed to strengthen the state law that was dubbed ‘Don’t Say Gay.’ 

Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to sign the legislation, which also bans diversity programs in colleges.

The Republican governor has pushed a conservative culture agenda in his state ahead of an expected announcement he’ll run for president. DeSantis has declared a war on ‘woke,’ taken on Disney, and pushed to ban sex identity and certain books in schools.

It’s also increased his national profile as he takes on LGBTQ rights and one of America’s most iconic companies.
