Another Democrat-appointed judge has decided that a Florida law must be blocked for fear of offending the always offended.
Judge Mark Walker has stopped the Stop-WOKE Act in its tracks.
The legislation has been halted because it may infringe on First Amendment rights.
The Big Question
Does a workplace have the right to force a liberal agenda on its employees?
That is what is at the heart of this.
The Florida legislation blocked workplaces and schools from CRT training and banned schools from hiring CRT consultants.
Judge Walker wrote, “If Florida truly believes we live in a post-racial society, then let it make its case.
“But it cannot win the argument by muzzling its opponents. Because, without justification, the [bill] attacks ideas, not conduct, [the businesses] are substantially likely to succeed on the merits of this lawsuit.”
BREAKING: We’re suing Florida over the Stop WOKE Act, which severely restricts discussions of race and gender in college and university classrooms.
It’s simple: This unconstitutional censorship law will have a chilling effect on freedom of expression in higher education.

The flip side of this is how can you force these opinions on workers?
This is a case that is going to have some major ramifications around the country if it gets blocked.
Numerous red states have tried to block CRT, so a loss by DeSantis here will impact this country’s conservative movement.
