Conservatives took a victory lap early this year when Florida lawmakers defunded programs pushing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), what they call a “woke” social justice concept, at state colleges and universities.

Senate Bill 266, sponsored by state Sen. Erin Grall, a Republican, took effect on July 1, banning Florida institutions of higher learning from spending money on or advocating for DEI.
