The Florida Mystery

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Some of those states have pushed the envelope on abortion and other culture-war issues, but the clear vanguard of Republican policy-making creativity at this moment is in Florida.
43% : Yet in recent months, under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida has enacted the controversial law known as "Don't Say Gay," which bans classroom discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools; approved "close to the most egregiously partisan map in the country" in congressional redistricting; passed a ban on "critical race theory" that has led to dozens of math (yes, mathematics) textbooks being rejected; mounted a frontal assault on the state's largest employer, Disney, over culture-war issues; issued punitive and repressive guidance on transgender students; and kneecapped tenure in the state's universities.
