Eleventh Circuit Rules Florida’s Stop WOKE Act Violates Professors’ Free Speech
TL;DR
An Eleventh Circuit panel ruled that Florida's Stop WOKE Act violates professors' First Amendment rights and affirmed a district court's finding that the law restricting how race- and gender-related topics are taught in public universities is unconstitutional; the decision signals that lawmakers cannot impose broad, viewpoint-based limits on campus instruction, even as they retain some authority to shape curriculum.
