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.”
DeSantis: A loser for life.
I know it’s a “permanent” injunction because it’s the next step from a “temporary” one. But is any injunction really permanent with this Supreme Court looking over its shoulder?
This feels like a favor to DeSantis because it can now likely be taken up the ladder to (surprise) the Supreme Court.
That’s the entire game right now, bring batshit things to the Supreme Court and get batshit precedents set. If we manage to get out of this current clusterfuck still intact as a democracy/country we’re gonna need some extreme court reform and aggressive legislation
Florida: where stupid-ass Woke bills go to die

Good to see from this judge.
So is he going to be held accountable for being so openly against free speech?
