Local lawmakers push for statewide anti-DEI bills that would prohibit local government DEI policies

The article from News4Jax discusses how local lawmakers in Florida are pushing for statewide anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) legislation.

The debate reflects broader national discussions on the role of DEI in public policy.
