Florida law will restrict how race, diversity is discussed at work
Legislation restricting how race is discussed in the workplace was approved by Florida lawmakers and sent to Gov. Ron DeSantis, paving the way for the first law of its kind in the country.
The measure takes aim at any corporate training that makes employees feel discomfort or distress by suggesting that they are responsible for actions “committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, sex or national origin.”
It is part of a nationwide push to control how issues of race and identity are taught in corporations. DeSantis has made battling "critical race theory" one of his top legislative priorities. If he signs the bill, workers could sue their employers.
State Senate Democrats argued the proposed legislation would lead to frivolous lawsuits and accused DeSantis, a possible 2024 presidential candidate who is up for reelection this year, of "fanning the flames of a culture war for political gain."
