Randy Fine files bill again to ban Pride, Palestine, other flags at government buildings

Randy Fine, a Florida state representative, has proposed a bill that would ban the display of flags representing "foreign terrorist organizations" on public property, including schools and government buildings. This legislation, which has already passed the House, targets flags like those of Palestine, Hezbollah, and Hamas, but notably does not mention the Confederate flag. Fine, who is Jewish, has also expressed opposition to Pride flags, arguing they represent a political viewpoint. Critics argue that the bill could infringe on free speech and might be used to suppress symbols of solidarity with oppressed groups. The bill has sparked controversy, with some seeing it as an attempt to limit expressions of identity and support for certain causes under the guise of combating terrorism.
