Federal judge hands DeSantis admin win over 'Stop WOKE Act'
Fox News ^ | January 15, 2023 | Emma Colton

A federal judge ruled that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration did not violate a court order regarding the state’s "Stop WOKE Act," which prohibits colleges from promoting critical race theory lessons and targets other "woke" concepts prevalent on higher education campuses.

"Although this court would not hesitate to compel compliance with its preliminary injunction, this court finds there has been no violation of the injunction at this time," U.S. District Judge Mark E. Walker wrote on Thursday, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Plaintiffs had challenged the law, known as the "Stop Wrongs To Our Kids and Employees Act" or "Stop WOKE Act," arguing that the DeSantis administration had failed to comply with a preliminary injunction that prevents the enforcement of some parts of the law.

DeSants introduced the bill in December 2021 and signed it into law last April. The law prevents schools and corporations from "subjecting any student or employee to training or instruction that espouses, promotes, advances, inculcates, or compels such individual to believe specified concepts constitutes discrimination based on race, color, sex, or national origin."

From da’ judge last November:

“Our professors are critical to a healthy democracy, and the State of Florida’s decision to choose which viewpoints are worthy of illumination and which must remain in the shadows has implications for us all.”

“If our ‘priests of democracy’ are not allowed to shed light on challenging ideas, then democracy will die in darkness.”

Hey arse, instead of bloviating, stick to judging.

Professors from state universities are free to stand on a street corner and spout their BS.

In the class they are employees. Employers set the rules.

No 1st Amendment issue here. Suck it up.

Getting old and I doubt that I’ll be alive then.
So maybe you can some way, put a DeSantis vote in for me. ;)

You know, like the demons do.

Weird that DeSantis is unknown in spell check but Biden is.

He’d be a great president, but I’d really hate to see his beautiful family put through the inevitable Dem/press lies, threats and criticism.

Isn’t Walker the Tallahassee judge that pyscho liberals go to for their cases down here? If so, good on him, he ruled for the good guys this time.

"DeSants introduced the bill in December 2021 and signed it into law last April."

LOL at this journolist bragging about being kept in the dark and covered in shit like a mushroom.

DeSantis himself quoted the New York Times agitpropagandist "1619 Project" -- released in 2019 -- as the modus behind his "Stop Woke Act"; giving DeSantis had 3 1/2 years to pass the "Stop WOKE Act".

Meanwhile, Gov. Youngkin did it in his FIRST WEEK in office.

And Youngkin is going to see Virginia flip back to blue if he's not careful. Meanwhile, DeSantis has solidified Republican control over Florida.

It just pains you to see DeSantis winning conservative battles, doesn't it?

I'd rather the Democrats not keep the White House for another six years.

Except Trump loses every state he lost in '20 with the addition of North Carolina.

Trump has no path to the White House in 2024. DeSantis does.

Facts not in evidence.

"Meanwhile, DeSantis has solidified Republican control over Florida."

Also facts not in evidence.

"It just pains you to see DeSantis winning conservative battles, doesn't it?"
