Federal judge decides parts of DeSantis' #StopWokeAct violate 1st Amendment rights.

"From a political standpoint this is the worse I've seen in all my years. This is the biggest attack I've seen on the freedom of the classroom."-Mr.Falls, FL Social Studies teacher #maedu #mapoli

The New York Times @nytimes

A key part of Florida's "Stop WOKE Act", signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis this year, was blocked by a federal judge after a lawsuit argued that its limits on discussion of racial bias during private employers' diversity training was a free speech infringement. https://nyti.ms/3R0GG3L
