A federal judge sided with the state of Florida regarding the 'Stop WOKE Act' that Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law, saying the state did not violate a court order.
Walker had called the law"positively dystopian" in November and issued a temporary injunction.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis addresses the crowd before publicly signing the "Stop WOKE" act during a press conference on April 22, 2022. "We remain concerned that this directive from the Executive Office of the Governor is a thinly veiled attempt to circumvent the restrictions of the preliminary injunction by eliminating funding for valuable instruction on systemic racism and sexism," Watson said.
The state filed a response on Thursday, arguing that the memo delivered to state colleges and universities on Dec. 28 was part of the governor’s annual budgeting process, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
