The state’s Republican-controlled Senate Education Committee approved the legislation—called “Individual Freedom”—in a vote along party lines. The bill would bar employers from subjecting “any individual, as a condition of employment, membership, certification, licensing, credentialing or passing an examination, to training, instruction, or any other required activity” that promotes certain concepts related to race and racism.

So when could Beckerman ever have coped with someone on the order of Cristiano Ronaldo? Who that he might have dealt with could meet such a supreme standard? “Yeah, sure — a guy named Messi,” Beckerman said. Oh, yeah, him.
