Ron DeSantis' new target in his 'war on woke'? Colors, apparently

[C_Clayton_Jones]

'The administration of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, America’s premier “anti-woke warrior,” seems to have set its sights on a new target: color displays on Florida’s bridges. As part of DeSantis’ “Freedom Summer” initiative, the state’s transportation secretary, Jared W. Perdue, announced earlier this month that bridges in the state will have no choice but to be illuminated in red, white and blue from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

The Ringling Causeway Bridge over Sarasota Bay usually lights up in rainbow colors for a week in June, and also marks other causes during the summer, such as orange for National Gun Awareness Month and yellow for Women’s Equality Day.

Florida’s Department of Transportation, which has purview over the state’s bridges, issued the order mandating the strict color display after the chair of the Manatee County Commission objected to changing the lights to honor Pride Month and Gun Violence Awareness Day, the Tampa Bay Times reported.'

Don’t say climate change

TV meteorologist attacks Ron DeSantis over Florida’s ‘don’t say climate change’ law

Steve MacLaughlin of WTVJ in Miami urges viewers to vote – because ‘there are candidates that believe in climate change’

www.theguardian.com

On Thursday, we reported … that the government of Florida was beginning to roll back really important climate-change legislation and really important climate-change language.”


MacLaughin condemned DeSantis’s position on the matter, saying that it came “in spite of the fact that the state of Florida over the last couple of years has seen record heat, record flooding, record rain, record insurance rates, and the corals are dying all around the state”.

It's going to be the Red White and Blue on Florida's bridges from Memorial day to Labor day. Why the hell does MSNMC have a problem with that?

I don’t see a problem with allowing the bridges the freedom of choice to illuminate themselves in whatever way they wish. Give them more freedom and autonomy the way a small government should not less.
