NAACP urges Black athletes to avoid Florida public universities over anti-DEI policies
The storied civil rights organization accused Gov. Ron DeSantis of having "waged war on Black America" by championing legislation to dismantle diversity and inclusion efforts at public schools.
Black college athletes should rethink any decision to attend public colleges and universities in Florida, the NAACP advised in an extraordinary letter issued in response to efforts by Gov. Ron DeSantis to weaken diversity, equity and inclusion efforts statewide.
The letter, authored by the NAACP's top two officials and addressed to Charlie Baker, the head of the NCAA, comes on the heels of last week's announcement by the University of Florida that it would eliminate the school's.
