Republican governors should end racial preferences at the state level

GOP governors like Florida’s Ron DeSantis and Alabama’s Kay Ivey have been making splashy headlines for attacking diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards at companies like BlackRock and Disney. But the laws of their own states allow racial preferences in education, employment and public contracting. Before telling private companies how to do business, governors should get their own houses in order by working with their respective legislatures to end racial preferences and ensure equal treatment for all citizens.

In Florida, DeSantis’s home state, any county, municipality, community college or district school board can legally set aside up to 10 percent or more of its budget for goods and services only for minority-owned businesses. Other companies are forbidden from even bidding on those contracts — simply because of the business owner’s race.

HOMICIDAL: “Stone-cold dead” DeSantis refuses to back down


Shooting people while they’re wearing backpacks has become all too common in the United States, but Ron DeSantis may be the first to openly imply that the backpack itself is evidence of criminality.

DeSantis has indicated that anyone crossing the border between the U.S. and Mexico while wearing a backpack would be shot on sight, has conflated crossing into the country with breaking into someone’s house, and has proposed launching missiles into Mexico, all in addition to his co-opting of Donald Trump’s 2016 promise to “build the wall” and make Mexico pay the price.
