A federal judge has permanently blocked the restrictions Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican lawmakers placed on handling race-related issues in workplace training – part of the controversial Individual Freedom Act, better known as the “Stop WOKE Act.”

A federal judge has permanently blocked the restrictions Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Republican lawmakers placed on handling race-related issues in workplace training – part of the controversial Individual Freedom Act, better known as the “Stop WOKE Act.”

The act was one of several bills the Republican governor signed in 2022 as part of his war on “woke ideology.” It was intended to prevent teachings or mandatory workplace activities that suggest a person is privileged or oppressed based on their race, color, sex or national origin.

On Friday, Chief US District Judge Mark Walker issued a two-page order granting a permanent injunction against the law’s workplace training provisions. The order says the law “violates free speech rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution.”

      I’m getting a bit annoyed at the consistent MB/FC bashing. CNN Digital is also rated “Lean Left” by AllSides, and Ad Fontes. So that’s three different Media Bias organizations that have given CNN Digital the same rating. So MB/FC is bang on against their peers.

      Now you may be from another Country where “Lean Left” isn’t an accurate description of CNN Digital but I’d remind you that this article is from an American Media outlet in regards to an American Political issue. So that the fact that CNN Digital would be considered “Ultra far right wing” somewhere else in the world doesn’t matter. *This is American Media covering American politics and by American political standards CNN is, in fact, “Leans Left”. *Get over it.

        CNN has never leaned left. They certainly don’t even come close to appearing to anymore. The fact that there’s three terribly inaccurate ratings out there doesn’t change that. Not going to get over it. Going to keep bitching about it. Don’t like it? Don’t read it.

          Every organization that rates Bias in media disagree with you.

          The fact that there’s three terribly inaccurate ratings out there doesn’t change that.

          Yes, obviously everyone else is wrong and you hold the objectively correct opinion.

          Don’t like it? Don’t read it.

          Yep, and I suggest you do so.
