A federal judge has permanently blocked the restrictions Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican lawmakers placed on handling race-related issues in workplace training – part of the controversial Individual Freedom Act, better known as the “Stop WOKE Act.

The act was one of several bills the Republican governor signed in 2022 as part of his war on “woke ideology.” It was intended to prevent teachings or mandatory workplace activities that suggest a person is privileged or oppressed based on their race, color, sex or national origin.

On Friday, Chief US District Judge Mark Walker issued a two-page order granting a permanent injunction against the law’s workplace training provisions. The order says the law “violates free speech rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution.”

    CNN has never leaned left. They certainly don’t even come close to appearing to anymore. The fact that there’s three terribly inaccurate ratings out there doesn’t change that. Not going to get over it. Going to keep bitching about it. Don’t like it? Don’t read it.

      Every organization that rates Bias in media disagree with you.

      The fact that there’s three terribly inaccurate ratings out there doesn’t change that.

      Yes, obviously everyone else is wrong and you hold the objectively correct opinion.

      Don’t like it? Don’t read it.

      Yep, and I suggest you do so.
