Florida Attorney General Ends Dozens of State Racial Preference Programs

We were all sold on a simple, powerful idea: that in America, you’d be judged on your own two feet. Your success would depend on your ambition, your talent, and the strength of your character. It’s a vision where the law doesn’t see color, guaranteeing every citizen the same shot, not rigging the game to guarantee the outcome.

But let’s be honest. For years, a different, more sinister ideology has been working overtime, not in the daylight but in the bureaucratic shadows we’re all supposed to ignore. Masquerading as “equity,” this agenda has quietly rewritten the rules, creating a system that judges Americans by their race first and their merit last. It has turned our founding promise on its head.

But every now and then, someone with a spine decides to turn on the lights. In Florida, one of the state’s top officials has had enough and is calling out this un-American nonsense for what it is.

From ‘The Daily Wire’:

“Racial discrimination is wrong. It is also unconstitutional. Yet Florida maintains several laws on its books that promote and require discrimination on its face,” Uthmeier wrote. “Any laws requiring race-based state action are presumptively unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause” and the Florida Constitution.”

That’s Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, and he isn’t just talking. He has issued a formal legal opinion stating his office will no longer defend or enforce dozens of state-sponsored programs built on the toxic foundation of racial preferences. This is a long-overdue move to restore sanity and the actual Constitution.

Unearthing the Woke Rot in Government

For too long, these insidious programs have flown under the radar, hiding behind feel-good labels. But when Uthmeier’s office started digging, they found some real gems. They uncovered state laws that forced doctors’ offices to hire physicians based on skin color. They found mandates for the state’s Commerce Department to give special treatment to businesses based on the owner’s ethnicity, thumbing its nose at everyone else.

The bureaucratic nonsense didn’t stop there. The state had laws on the books requiring racial quotas for government contracts in construction, architecture, and other critical services. Think about that. The government was legally required to award jobs not to the best bidder, but to the one who checked the right demographic box. Uthmeier correctly called this what it is: state-sponsored discrimination.

The Supreme Court Draws a Line in the Sand

And let’s be clear: Florida isn’t just winging it here. They have some serious legal firepower on their side, courtesy of the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. That ruling finally called the game on the academic elite, declaring that racial preferences in college admissions were an unconstitutional sham.

That decision wasn’t just about college kids. It was a clear signal that the Constitution remains colorblind, period. Florida is now taking that powerful precedent and using it as a sledgehammer to demolish the DEI machine that has been built up in its own government, piece by discriminatory piece.

Florida Provides the Blueprint for Freedom

While liberal states are busy tripping over themselves to virtue signal with more DEI initiatives, Florida is showing the rest of us how you actually win. The AG’s declaration is the perfect blueprint for conservative leadership. You don’t just whine about the woke mob; you use the power of your office to defund, dismantle, and defy their agenda.

This is the kind of decisive action that patriots across America have been demanding. It’s proof that the left’s cultural march isn’t unstoppable. All it takes is courage and a firm belief in our founding principles to send them packing. Florida is demonstrating that we can, and must, fight to restore a government that serves all its citizens equally.

This is how you do it. This is how you fight back, not with empty slogans or angry tweets, but with real action grounded in the rule of law. The battle is far from over, but thanks to Florida, the path to taking back our country from this madness is clearer than ever.

Key Takeaways

  • Florida’s Attorney General is ending dozens of unconstitutional, race-based state laws.
  • These “affirmative action” programs created illegal quotas for hiring and government contracts.
  • The move is legally supported by the Supreme Court’s ruling against racial preferences.
  • Florida provides a conservative blueprint for other states to dismantle the DEI agenda.
