A new anti-DEI law championed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that goes into effect next year has resulted in the cancellation of a St. Patrick's Day parade. The city of Delray Beach announced that it was pulling the plug on the popular 60-year-old spectacle " as well as the city's annual Pride celebration " after it did a review of Florida Senate Bill 1134, which DeSantis signed into law and goes into effect on Jan. 1. Nevertheless, the bill specifically bars counties, municipalities, public contractors, and grantees from using taxpayer money to fund events that celebrate "ethnicity." DeSantis, a Republican and likely GOP presidential candidate, has been leading the charge against DEI for a number of years.
