Florida Bill to End Cancel Culture; Will the Senate Pass It?

Florida is considered a conservative state yet it has been aggressively removing monuments, both Confederate and non-Confederate, for years. Jacksonville has wasted no time in canceling its heritage with the removal of several monuments since 2016, joined by St. Petersburg, Orlando, Fort Myers, Ocala, Daytona Beach, Pensacola, Gainesville, and Lakeland. A bill (SB 1122) pending in the Florida Senate could end this desecration of the state’s historical monuments and memorials to its storied past.
