Federal judge temporarily blocks Florida 'Stop WOKE ACT'

A federal judge has granted an injunction temporarily blocking a key aspect of Florida’s new law that restricts workplaces from implementing “woke” training about race relations.

In a 44-page decision filed on Thursday, Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker criticized the Stop WOKE Act as “bordering on unintelligible” and granted a temporary injunction, ruling that provisions of the law violate the First Amendment. The ruling comes less than two months after the law took effect, restricting what workplaces can implement in their employee training.
