Florida 'Stop WOKE Act' struck down: What the appeals court ruling means for colleges, universities

A divided federal appeals court has slammed the door on Florida's "Stop WOKE Act," dealing what could be a final blow to the law championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The 2-1 ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit found the law — which restricted how lessons on race and gender can be taught in colleges and universities — violates the free-speech rights of professors. Dr. Matt Corrigan, a professor of political science at Jacksonville University, joined News4JAX to break down the decision and what it means going forward.
