Travel Advisory Hit With Blastback From State Officials

A recent travel advisory issued by the NAACP for those traveling to Florida now has some state officials pushing back in response. The NAACP claimed that recent legislation passed here in Florida targets minority communities. They said the laws ban state colleges from having programs on diversity, equity and inclusion. The NAACP claimed that they had to warn people that when they come to Florida, they’re coming into a hostile territory. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody however, called out the advisories on social media. She said no such advisories exist for high-crime areas like Chicago. Moody says the NAACP is simply playing games… saying where would most people like to take their family on vacation?? To sunny Florida where the crime rate is at a 50-year low, or to Chicago where 23 people were shot just last weekend? Moody said if the NAACP truly was being honest, they would issue an advisory for places where people are most likely to be murdered.
