Dear Friend,
House Bill 999 / Senate Bill 266 is laden with unconstitutional provisions hostile to freedom of expression and academic freedom within higher education.
If passed, it would represent another retreat from the open exchange of ideas that Florida’s leaders embraced just four years ago. It would ban certain programs, censor learning, terminate jobs, corrupt the hiring process, and control academic thought for all.
The bill has been scheduled for a hearing THIS Monday at 3:00pm in the Postsecondary Education & Workforce Subcommittee in the Florida House.
Send a letter to ALL Committee Members here.
And join us tomorrow at 3:00pm for an online review of the bill and ways to take action. We’ll be reviewing the bill on Facebook Live at Facebook.com/AnnaForFlorida.
Onward,
Rep. Anna V. Eskamani
