Florida’s ‘Stop WOKE Act’ commits a ‘First Amendment sin,’ appeals court says in a ruling that blocks part of the bill

March 19 2024- A federal appeals court upheld a ruling that part of Florida’s anti-“woke” law infringes on free speech rights of employers. The law, signed by Governor Ron DeSantis, aimed to prevent teachings implying privilege or oppression based on race, but the court found it violated the First Amendment. DeSantis’s office criticized the decision, arguing it allows companies to promote racist ideologies. The term “woke” remains divisive, representing awareness for some and a pejorative for others.
