A panel of judges ruled on Tuesday (2-1) that Florida’s anti-woke law restricting how lessons on race and gender can be taught in colleges and universities violates the free speech rights of professors, calling it a “positively dystopian [plan] to ban unpopular ideas from public discourse” in the classrooms where such conversations are critical. 

“If the First Amendment offers any boundary of protection at all for public university classrooms, this statute crosses it,” Judge Britt C. Grant, an appointee of President Donald Trump, concluded. Grant was joined by Judge Charles R. Wilson, a Bill Clinton appointee, in the ruling. Judge Barbara Lagoa, another Trump appointee and a former Florida Supreme Court judge picked by DeSantis, wrote a striking dissent from the decision, stating: “This panel is not free to rewrite precedent simply because we dislike where it leads.”
