Orlando City Council Approves Safety Ordinances

(Orlando, FL)-- Orlando is moving forward with changes that could make the downtown safer. The city council yesterday passed the first reading of two ordinances affecting bars and nightclubs. One measure calls for a six-month moratorium on new bars and clubs. The other requires bars and clubs to get a permit to sell alcohol after midnight, and it also leaves it up to the police chief to determine how much private security the business needs. Orlando Hospitality Alliance VP Monica McCowan addressed the council. She says this will put places out of business because it would cost them up to two million dollars a year to comply. The council will have its second reading of the proposed ordinances in March.

DeSantis Discusses Decision To Reject AP African-American History Course

(Jacksonville, FL)-- A new Advanced Placement African-American history course is more about indoctrination than education. That's what Governor Ron DeSantis said yesterday in Jacksonville about the course that was rejected last week by the Florida Department of Education. DeSantis says one issue the DOE has is the course's inclusion of queer theory. DeSantis wonders what queer theory has to do with black history, and he says it sounds like somebody is pushing an agenda on our kids for political purposes. Meanwhile, Reverend Al Sharpton and lawyer Benjamin Crump are planning a Stop the Black Attack rally tomorrow in Tallahassee.
