Floridas Anti-Woke Law Violates First Amendment

Floridas 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.
Its 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.
