Quick Glance: Fl. Law 'Stop Woke Act' Blocked by Court Decision
- A federal appeals court decision on Monday prevented the enforcement of a law in Florida, supported by Governor Ron DeSantis, that limits how private companies can teach diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
- According to a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, the 'Stop Woke Act' exceeds the boundaries of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in its efforts to regulate workplace trainings related to race, color, gender, and national origin.
- Julia Friedland, a spokeswoman for DeSantis, stated in a release on Tuesday that the governor's office is 'considering all options for future appeals.'
- The 'Stop Woke Act' was passed in March 2022 by the Republican-controlled Florida legislature and was a key priority for DeSantis, who labeled it as the 'Individual Freedom Measure.'
