Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed into law bills targeting Disney, establishing a new congressional map, and limiting how schools teach race and gender
The bills targeting Disney were passed by the state's Republican-controlled legislature this week in a special session, taking aim at the company's self-governing status around its Orlando-area theme parks and ending an exemption to state law regarding Big Tech censorship.
Florida lawmakers also this week passed the state's new congressional map, which was proposed by DeSantis himself and that critics say dilutes the electoral power of Black Floridians and could give Republicans the advantage in as many as 20 of the state's 28 districts.The bill restricting how schools and businesses can talk about race and gender was passed by lawmakers last month.
