Florida House Passes Bills Expanding Censorship and Government Control Agenda

Tallahassee, FL — Today, the Florida House passed three bills that continue to expand an agenda of extreme censorship and government intrusion and overreach by the Republican-controlled legislature.

Now the Florida Senate will decide the fate of the Trans Erasure Bill (HB 1639), the Stop WOKE Teacher Training Bill (HB 1291), and the Preemption of Employment Protections Bill (HB 433).

We are heartbroken over the death of Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old non-binary high school student in Oklahoma.

According to reports, Nex was beaten by multiple students in the school bathroom on February 7th and died the next day at a local hospital. The full autopsy has not yet been released.
