The new Attorney General of Florida, one of the youngest in the history of the State, says that he is working to make his state a place where “awakened” ideologies such as diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are not discreet.
“In my first week in office, we filed a lawsuit against Target based on some of the radical ideologies that advance in their stores, “said Florida Attorney James Uthmeier to Fox News Digital.
“Many months ago, they launched a transgender children’s clothing line.
Uthmeier was appointed by the governor of Florida Ron Desantis to fill the vacancy created by Former Attorney General Ashley Moodywho Desantis selected to replace former Sen. Marco Rubio when he became Secretary of State.

On February 20, Uthmeier Filed a collective claim With America First legal, and law firms Boyden Gray and Lawson Huck González, against Target for the alleged intentional deception of the company’s investors regarding their “LGBTQ radical activism.”
The lawsuit says that target shareholders lost tens of billions of dollars and that the company “actively cheated” investors, claiming that they would seek the possible risks of their Dei and Environmental, social and governance policies (ESG), but in reality they only tracked the response of the left lens activist groups.
Part of Target’s pride merchandise included a one -piece swimsuit for adults with a “friendly construction for Tuck” and “additional crop coverage.” According to reports, the retailer also sold chest binders.
After the launch of the merchandise, the store market value Fell to $ 57.7 billion of $ 74 billion.
“Here in Florida, our state pension fund that provides the retirement of our teachers and first responds received a massive blow when Target decided to participate in this social ideology,” said Uthmeier.
“They faced a serious reaction in the market, and lost around 10 billion in value in 10 days,” he added.
“So this is not right,” said Uthmeier. “We are going to hold companies like this. If you have a fiduciary duty for the state of Florida, and we are investing in you, and we are looking for the withdrawal of our state workers, we will make sure you do again.” ”
The railings are in their place to prevent this from happening again, said the attorney general.
“We begin a corporate responsibility and supervision fund with more than 20 million dollars that will ensure that we are investing in companies that participate in fiduciary responsibilities and are earning money for investors,” he said.

Uthmeier said companies in Florida should be “in warning.”
“I will tell you that we are looking, and we are not afraid to take measures if we believe that a correction must be made, “said Uthmeier.
“We are working, and we relax a policy today to announce that we are not going to allow the State to do business with any law firm that advance the ESG and DEI policies.
According to UTHMeier, such law firms are to blame for the promotion ofi and ESG.
“It is the companies that seem to be pressing many of these companies to adopt these policies,” said Uthmeier. “These policies are wrong. We will not allow them to continue, and we are certainly not going to give business to signatures of lawyers who want to participate in Dei and ESG.”
