DeSantis for the win

[Tsing Tao]

technically, yes, a no smoking law would by definition oppress smokers. Duh.

For the record, I never said DeSantis is a Nazi. Although I have no idea if he isn’t.

There is little to no space between DeSantis and Nazis on gay and transgender issues.

No, you said there was "little space between DeSantis and Nazis" on gay and transgender issues.

I asked you for what you considered made DeSantis akin to Nazis, you quoted that the elimination of “classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity” is what makes DeSantis akin to Nazis, even though it is only parent supported and requested elimination for Pre-K to 3rd grade students for the above subject material.

Now you're saying you never said DeSantis is a Nazi. Ok, are you just trying to play word games here or what?

Yes, to students in Pre-Kindergarten to 3rd grade only. Because parents are predominantly against it at that age. And you somehow get to "DeSantis is a Nazi" because of this?

So does a law saying no smoking in restaurants also oppress smokers and is akin to the Nazi party?

I did not get “DeSantis is a Nazi”

But yes, ideologies can overlap. Nazis and conservatives have some things in common. As a matter of fact a lot of things in common.

I'll bet if we look close enough, we can find at least one commonality in what Nazi's believe, and what you believe, too. Or me. Or anyone else. That doesn't make us Nazis.

How about this - how about we judge people on direct action and statements? When we do that, we don't run into this whole "he's a nazi" or "she's a nazi" unless they actually are, in fact, a Nazi.

Governor Ron DeSantis Signs Anti-Semitism Protections Bill CS/CS/HB 741

Tallahassee, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis officially signed CS/CS/HB 741: Anti-Semitism into law following a ceremonial bill signing earlier this week in Jerusalem. The Governor was joined at the ceremonial bill signing on Wednesday, May 29th by Attorney General Ashley Moody, Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, Agricultural Commissioner Nikki Fried, bill sponsor Representative Randy Fine, Senator Wilton Simpson, Representative Chris Sprowls, Senator Lauren Book, Representative Chip LaMarca, Representative Joseph Geller and FDEM Director Jared Moskowitz.

CS/CS/HB 741 adds religion as a protected class with regard to discrimination against students and employees in Florida’s K-20 public education system. The bill requires a public K-20 educational institution to treat discrimination by students or employees or resulting from institutional policies motivated by anti-Semitism in an identical manner to discrimination motivated by race.

The bill also adds a definition of anti-Semitism similar to the definition adopted by the U.S. Department of State’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, providing that “anti-Semitism” is a certain perception of Jewish people, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jewish people, rhetorical and physical manifestations of anti-Semitism directed toward a person, his or her property, or toward Jewish community institutions or religious facilities.

“I’m proud to sign this bill to make clear through a bipartisan effort that anti-Semitism has no place in our state and our educational institutions will not tolerate discrimination against the Jewish people,” said Governor DeSantis. “I was especially proud to hold a ceremonial bill signing in Jerusalem. Florida is the most Israel-friendly state in the country and as long as I’m Governor, we will continue to stand with the Jewish community.”

“In a time where open anti-Semites are celebrated in some corners of Washington, I am proud that Florida has chosen to move in a different direction and tackle this scourge head-on with ground-breaking legislation,” said Representative Randy Fine. “By requiring that Florida’s public education systems treat anti-Semitism the same way as they treat racism, we send an unambiguous message that Jewish children will be protected from those who would discriminate against or maliciously target them. On behalf of my two sons, as well as hundreds of thousands of other Jewish children, I thank Governor DeSantis for his leadership today.”

“The rise of anti-Semitism and the recent attacks against Jewish Americans throughout our country are appalling and unacceptable,” said Senator Joe Gruters. “By signing this bill into law, Florida is sending a clear message that anti-Semitism and discrimination will not be tolerated or overlooked. I thank the Governor and the members of the Legislature for taking decisive action to address this issue head on.”

Please post a link to this article. I'd like to read how Ron DeSantis is out there beating up Jews.

I agree, Ben. But are you saying DeSantis is laying down with Nazis (figuratively speaking, of course)?

Hey Spike - not bad for the third most populous state, eh? Go DeSantis!
