The Florida Senate approved a bill Thursday giving the governor the ability to label groups as “terrorist organizations,” a move that targets college students and Islamic schools that receive state voucher money.

Under HB 1471, college students could be immediately expelled for supporting a group dubbed a terrorist organization — an apparent response to pro-Palestinian protesters who have opposed Israel’s war in Gaza on campuses.

It would also bar courts from considering religious codes, including Islamic Sharia law, in legal cases. Republican lawmakers said Sharia law sometimes comes up in contract and family disputes.

I can't wait for the Satanic Temple to cite this when they try and legislate prayer and/the Ten Commandments in schools.
