Gov. Ron DeSantis' war on 'woke' appears to be losing steam in Florida
A federal court recently blocked most of a key DeSantis measure, the Stop WOKE Act. Courts have ruled against a number of the governor's conservative initiatives.
In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis' campaign against ideas he considers "woke" has run into some roadblocks.
A court settlement this week blunted his Parental Rights in Education Act, a law that critics call Don't Say Gay. And earlier this month, a federal court blocked another key measure that DeSantis introduced in 2021 and called the Stop WOKE Act. It marked the beginning of DeSantis' efforts to reshape how Floridians view and teach issues involving race and gender identity.
