Florida's Anti-Woke Law Violates First Amendment

Florida’s Anti-Woke Law Violates First Amendment

“Florida’s anti-woke law restricting how professors can teach about race and gender at public colleges and universities violates the First Amendment, a divided federal appeals court ruled Tuesday,” CNBC reports.

“It’s a major blow to one of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signature culture war policies.”

“The three-judge panel affirmed a preliminary injunction, meaning the law remains blocked while the case continues. Florida can ask the full 11th Circuit to rehear the case or petition the Supreme Court to review it.”

The Guardian: U.S. appeals court partially strikes down Florida law restricting campus race and gender discussions.
