Florida Introduces Bill to Ban 'Political' Flags

What's NewFlorida State Senator Randy Fine has introduced a bill aimed at banning flags representing political viewpoints, race, sexual orientation, or gender from being displayed at public schools, colleges, universities and government buildings.Newsweek reached out to Fine via email for comment.Why It MattersSenate Bill 100, introduced by Fine on Monday, mimics other recent legislation that has sought to ban ideological flags in public schools. LGBTQ+ advocates argue the moves reflect a broader wave of GOP-endorsed reform and policy efforts to restrict LGBTQ+ rights that include book bans, changes to school curricula, attacks on the use of preferred pronouns and restriction of reproductive rights."A governmental entity may not erect or display a flag that represents a political viewpoint, including, but not limited to, a politically partisan, racial, sexual orientation and gender, or political ideology viewpoint," the bill states.

Equality Schools ATHLETICS students Transgender Colleges Sporting UN Official Says Joe Biden's Transgender Plan Threatens Women
Education Department introduced proposals that would prevent schools and colleges that receive federal funding from imposing blanket bans on the participation of transgender students on teams matching their gender identity if it contradicts their biological sex at birth.It would be done by extending the protections afforded by Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which bans sex based discrimination in education, to transgender students who identify as female.Alsalem told Newsweek that the proposed change would "likely deprive female student-athletes of equal sporting opportunities, public recognition and well-deserved scholarship opportunities."My concerns also extend off the field. Compelling women and girls to share their intimate spaces with males, including bathrooms and changing rooms, can violate their privacy and leave them open to greater risk of sexual harassment and physical attack."Keeping women's sports female is a human rights imperative of our time.
