The bill bans workplace trainings or schools from teaching that anyone is “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously,” or that anyone is “privileged or oppressed … determined by his or her race, color, sex, or national origin.”
The legislation also prohibits instruction that suggests anyone should “feel guilt, anguish, or other forms of psychological distress because of actions … committed in the past by other members of the same race.”
The bill now goes to DeSantis, who is likely to sign it. He originally proposed the legislation as part of his campaign against “critical race theory” — which isn’t even mentioned in the text of the legisltion, and is an academic discipline that is usually discussed only in graduate-level courses and that examines how racism is embedded in the country’s legal, political and social institutions.
Genesis Robinson, political director of the Equal Ground Action Fund, a Black-led political nonprofit, slammed Florida’s lawmakers for passing the “deeply harmful” bill.
