The NAACP has issued a call for Black students and athletes to reconsider attending or playing for Florida's public universities and colleges. This comes in response to the institutions' decisions to discontinue their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices. The move has sparked a broader discussion on the role and perception of DEI initiatives in education and sports, with some critics arguing that DEI trainings may be manipulative. Meanwhile, the Eleventh Circuit has struck down Florida's ban on workplace DEI training under the First Amendment, highlighting the legal complexities surrounding the issue.
