Florida Senator Files Bill Banning 'Fictional' Political Flags in Government Buildings

Today, Senator Randy Fine (R-Melbourne Beach) filed SB 100 to ban the flying of political flags in government buildings.

Among others, SB 100 would ban the use of fictional country flags like “Palestine,” pro-violence “Black Lives Matter” flags, woke and pro-grooming ideological flags, and the flags of any political candidates in government buildings. Fine previously sponsored the same legislation in the Florida House during the 2024 Legislative Session.

“The first flag that should be flown in a government building is the American flag,” said Fine. “Flags that promote Muslim terror or the mutilation of children have no place in taxpayer-funded buildings – whether that government building is our state capital or a public school classroom.”

Political flags flown in government buildings have been the source of controversy, even becoming the subject of a lawsuit against the Palm Beach School District for an ideological flag flown at Emerald Cove Middle School in Wellington, Florida.
​
“Supporters of Muslim terror, child mutilators, and groomers have no right to taxpayer sponsorship of their repugnant messages. As I prepare to leave the Senate, I look forward to ensuring the only official place in a government building that you will find their flags is in a garbage can.”
