  • Florida State Senator Randy Fine (R-Melbourne Beach) has introduced legislation to prohibit the display of political and ideological flags in government buildings, including schools.

Florida Senator Randy Fine has introduced a bill, SB 1120, aimed at prohibiting the display of political flags, including those representing political viewpoints, racial, sexual orientation, or gender identities, in government buildings and public schools. This legislative move comes in response to controversies over the display of flags like the Pride flag in educational settings. The bill specifically allows for the display of the U.S. flag, the Florida state flag, and the POW-MIA flag, as well as flags of other nations when appropriate. Senator Fine's proposal has sparked debate, with supporters arguing it promotes neutrality in public spaces, while critics see it as an attack on inclusivity and diversity.
