DeSantis-Backed Ban on ‘Woke’ College Lessons Defeated on Appeal

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/litigation/desantis-backed-ban-on-woke-college-lessons-defeated-on-appeal

Florida’s “anti-woke” restrictions on the way university professors teach about race and gender violate the professors’ First Amendment rights, a panel of Eleventh Circuit judges decided.

The ruling affirms a federal district court judge’s finding that the law was impermissible under the Constitution. A divided 2-1 panel for the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit said state lawmakers can set the curriculum for state-run universities but don’t have unlimited authority to restrict viewpoints the lawmakers find offensive.

Can you imagine Futurama with this clown as President? He'd be calling the writers traitors and screeching for their arrest within a week.

i don't know about you, but as trigger-happy as his DOJ is, i'd wait on showing krasnov as a talking head in a jar until after he's gone. if i were one of the futurama writers i mean, they probably have significantly more to lose than i do.

That is just scary. One vote between fascism and freedom.
