Liberal media parroted bogus Florida “travel advisories” from the NAACP and other organizations despite the fact that travel advisories are reserved for the State Department to issue for life-threatening issues.

The NAACP issued a travel warning on Saturday, claiming the sunshine state “devalues and marginalizes” issues facing “communities of color.”

“Florida is openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals,” the NAACP said. “Before traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of and the challenges faced by African Americans and other communities of color.”

The move to issue the travel advisory was prompted by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ decision to reject the initial Advanced Placement African American Studies course that included topics on queer theory. DeSantis said teaching black history is a “core curriculum” but including queer ideology was “indoctrination.”

Meanwhile the League of United Latin American Citizens and Equality Florida also issued travel advisories for Florida.

But travel advisories are reserved for issuance by the State Department and are meant to provide citizens with information regarding potential domestic or international threats that could cause serious bodily harm in a certain area. Travel warnings range from “exercise normal precautions” and “exercise increased caution,” to “reconsider travel” and “do not travel.” The department considers various factors such as crime, terrorism, civil unrest, health risks and more. There are current advisories warning against going to Afghanistan, Burma and other areas.

The Florida travel advisories, however, were issued based on policy disagreements rather than any actual safety concerns for individuals.

Nonetheless, that didn’t stop liberal media outlets from spewing out the “advisory” as if it were a legitimate warning.

CNN tweeted that minority communities “are being warned of the risks of visiting Florida” because a travel advisory was issued by an organization with no capacity to actually declare such a warning.

“Minorities, immigrants and now members of the LGBTQ community are being warned of the risks of visiting Florida after the nation’s largest LGBTQ advocacy group issued a travel advisory following newly passed laws and policies,” CNN tweeted.

USA Today reporter Douglas Soule added to the sense of urgency when he tweeted out the advisory, saying, “JUST IN: The NAACP Board of Directors has issued a travel advisory for Florida.”

ABC7 Eyewitness News tweeted, “The NAACP has issued a travel advisory for the state of Florida, urging people to avoid the state.”

NBC News also tweeted the advisory, writing, “The Human Rights Campaign joined the NAACP and other civil rights groups in issuing travel or relocation warnings for Florida.”

Neither the CNN nor NBC News article made mention of queer theory, which triggered the rejection of the course.

Meanwhile, ABC 7 wrote that “DeSantis blocked student access to a new Advanced Placement course for high school students on African American studies.” However, DeSantis blocked the teaching of queer theory, not African American studies.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
