BREAKING: Federal appeals court says Florida’s universities can’t enforce the Stop WOKE Act pending appeal.

Federal judge’s order—in two lawsuits, one by FIRE, the other by @ACLU & @NAACP_LDF—directing Florida’s public universities not to enforce the law remains in place. Professors must be able to discuss subjects like race and gender without hesitation or fear of state reprisal.

Any law that limits the free exchange of ideas in university classrooms should lose in both the court of law and the court of public opinion.

FIRE filed its lawsuit in September.

"Without the freedom to engage in vigorous and robust debate about important issues and contentious concepts, a college education is just an exercise in memorizing facts and repeating government-approved viewpoints," said FIRE attorney @adamsteinbaugh. "That's not freedom or education."

1. What now, DeSatan?

Deploy your Praetorian Guard throughout state schools? You know in your rotten fascist heart that you want to.

7. He'll declare the courts and judges are woke.

Bet on it.

8. Off to the Supreme Court!

Friends don't let friends drive woke.

2. Now do TX and MS ...

Both have recently used the state legislature to eliminate elected city officials of school boards and courts in order to impose unelected Republican “rule” on citizens.

6. DeSatan and all the wanna be dictators would never have even thought of trying this...

if it wasn't for the stacked Supreme Court and other allies that have been installed in our Judicial Branch.

9. I think a lot of this is literal testing of the courts

to see how malleable they are and try to get as much as they can to "stick". Then anything that does "stick" will be templated for other RW loon states to use.
