Claudia Conway, the daughter of GOP pundits Kellyanne and George Conway, called out a new video from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis targeting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives.
DeSantis boasted about the new law on social media after the law banning state funds from going toward DEI initiatives in Florida's public colleges and universities went into effect on Saturday.
DeSantis, a Republican who is running in the 2024 presidential election, released a new video Sunday night highlighting his opposition to DEI initiatives, which conservatives have targeted. DEI programs are implemented by businesses or schools with the intention to help foster a more inclusive environment for marginalized groups, but critics argue these initiatives are divisive and lead to unequal treatment.
"The whole experiment with DEI is coming to an end in the state of Florida. We are eliminating the DEI programs. We are going to treat people as individuals. We are not going to treat people as members of groups," DeSantis said in a May press conference featured in the video."DEI is better viewed as standing for discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination, and that has no place in our public institution.
Florida Governor and 2024 Republican Presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis speaks with voters and residents in border-adjacent communities during a campaign event in Eagle Pass, Texas, on June 26, 2023.
