DeSantis calls overruling of ‘Stop WOKE Act’ ‘judicial overreach’

Gov. Ron DeSantis criticized the 11th Circuit Court's 2-1 ruling blocking Florida's 'Stop WOKE Act,' calling it judicial overreach. The law prohibited teaching concepts like systemic racism in state universities, which DeSantis argued were ideological fads undermining academic missions. The court majority, including Trump appointee Britt Grant, ruled the law violated free speech, while dissenting judge Barbara Lagoa, also a Trump appointee, disagreed.
