"We've been outspoken about the impact of misguided policies advanced by Florida lawmakers," press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Tuesday."Republicans in Florida have attacked diversity. They've attacked inclusion efforts. They've limited the teaching of black history."Jean-Pierre also referenced Florida Republican policies regarding women, the gay community, immigrants, and teachers.

That's what the president believes.

The League of United Latin American Citizens and LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Florida have circulated similar notices in the past.DeSantis’s deputy press secretary, Jeremy Redfern, has dismissed the NAACP's advisory as “nothing more than a stunt.
