Judge blocks Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' law barring "woke" education

November 17, 2022 / 5:30 PM / AP

A federal judge in Florida on Thursday blocked a law pushed by Gov. Ron DeSantis that restricts certain race-based conversations and analysis in colleges.

Tallahassee U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued a temporary injunction against the so-called "Stop Woke" act in a ruling that called the legislation "positively dystopian."

The law prohibits teaching or business practices that contend members of one ethnic group are inherently racist and should feel guilt for past actions committed by others. It also bars the notion that a person's status as privileged or oppressed is necessarily determined by their race or gender, or that discrimination is acceptable to achieve diversity.

Florida would be a lot better off if DeSantis didn't win another term as governor.
