Eleventh Circuit crushes Florida’s ‘Stop WOKE Act’ at state universities
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit ruled that Florida's Stop WOKE Act is unconstitutional, stating it violates academic freedom by restricting what professors can teach about identity-based topics. The law, which prohibited teaching concepts like Critical Race Theory, was struck down by a 2-1 panel, with judges Britt Grant and Charles Wilson affirming that students should be free to consider diverse viewpoints in classrooms.
