A federal appeals court today blocked the DeSantis admin's “Stop-WOKE” law, continuing to put the policy on hold for Florida's colleges and universities. U.S. District Judge Mark Walker called the law “positively dystopian.”
While the groups that challenged the state are claiming victory over the ruling, Gov. Ron DeSantis officials say the state will ultimately prevail once the case is heard. | Joe Raedle/Getty ImagesTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida remains unable to enforce the “Stop-WOKE” law touted by Gov. Ron DeSantis in light of a federal appeals court ruling Thursday that keeps the policies on hold for colleges and universities.
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied a request from the DeSantis administration and higher education officials to block an injunction that determined the law restricting how race can be taught in schools was unconstitutional, ensuring that state officials are barred from carrying out the measure for now. While the groups that challenged the state are claiming victory over the ruling, DeSantis officials say the state will ultimately prevail once the case is heard.
“Professors must be able to discuss subjects like race and gender without hesitation or fear of state reprisal,” said the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, or FIRE, one group that sued over the legislation. “Any law that limits the free exchange of ideas in university classrooms should lose in both the court of law and the court of public opinion.”
