A federal appeals court upheld a lower court's ruling that part of Florida's anti-"woke" law infringes on the free speech rights of employers.

 

"The government cannot favor some viewpoints over others without inviting First Amendment scrutiny," the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals said in its ruling Monday.

 

Quote

The challenge to DeSantis' "Stop WOKE Act" was brought by two Florida-based employers who wanted to require diversity and inclusion training for staff and a consultant. The businesses are represented by Protect Democracy, which describes itself as a "nonpartisan, anti-authoritarianism group."

 

Quote

US District Judge Mark Walker called the law "positively dystopian." A DeSantis spokesperson said at the time the appeal "is ongoing, and we remain confident that the law is constitutional."

It's wild seeing the "no CRT" sign behind DeSantis in that picture, because you basically never hear about CRT anymore. DEI is the current acronym they're flipping out about. It shows you how quickly these waves of moral panics move.

I thought it was ESG?
