DeSantis Anti Woke Law Struck Down By Florida Judge As UnConstitutional, No Longer In Effect

[Hamish Howl]

Keep watching those popularity polls in Florida and then ask how many other states are sick and tired of WOKE ideology along with school administrators threatening to spread CRT garbage into our grade schools.

lol

 

[CaughtInThe]

It was never really meant to stick. It was designed to inflame the hatred from the right.

 

[jaypatriot]

One thing to remember about DeSantis. Like Trump, Desantis has never had a true friend. As I've pointed out before,
his school teammates (baseball) said he was a dick and like to make fun of people and give them nick-names.
Who does that remind you of..?

Bill Maher?

 

[jaypatriot]

OK.....if you say so. Let's see where things go with real issues like abortion not made up sh!t

Let's keep watching DeSantis after he is re-elected governor.
Then we'll see how other states adopt his Conservative policies as he heads toward being the most popular Republican presidential candidate.

Florida judge has ruled Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ “Stop WOKE Act” unconstitutional less than two months after the law went into effect. U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida Judge Mark Walker’s 44-page ruling states that the law, which restricts race-based conversation in workplaces and schools, violates the First and 14th amendments. The law is officially blocked and no longer in effect—even during the state’s anticipated appeal.

So do you condemn this assault on Florida’s democracy by an authoritarian?

 

[EMNofSeattle]

Excuse me? The only people going on about these supposed issues is the right!

Wrong. The left is actively engaging in these issues now. The difference is people like you engage in gaslighting. When leftists are openly engaging in the sexual mutilation of confused children your response is to deny its even happening, then condemn political opponents for being opposed to it. Then finish by saying it’s a good thing that it’s happening.

Another thing Republicans, whether Trump or DeSantis need to do in 2025 is to reorganize the civil rights division and take the legal position that striking down legislation is a violation of the civil rights of the citizens of that state to have a Republican form of government as specified in the constitution

The Constitution exists, a State can't nullify it.

Well you keep watching and see how fast he pivots off his authoritarian policies if he becomes the GOP nominee.

There’s no constitutional right to how you communicate to employees. This is well established in American law. No sexual harassment laws have ever been struck down because of the first amendment

“Normally, the First Amendment bars the state from burdening speech, while private actors may burden speech freely,” the Obama-appointed judge continued. “But in Florida, the First Amendment apparently bars private actors from burdening speech, while the state may burden speech freely.”

Meaning: private actors can communicate to employees in whatever way they like, and if they want to have a "woke" work culture, they are free to. Likewise private actors can require whatever employee training they want from their employees. The State can't force private actors to censor themselves. The First Amendment.

Afraid I must disagree. He is not a joke he is a serious threat. Americans made the fatal mistake if considering Trump a joke. They can't make the same mistake again!

I take your point, but djt was a joke as well. Electing jokes makes us the joke

 

[Helix]

The Floridictator has a mad.

 

[jaypatriot]

Are you suggesting that if he is the GOP nominee he will become more moderate in his views. Maybe to the point where he accepts CRT, the 1619 Project as history, and LGBTQ+ tenets in order to attract more voters?

If 'authoritanian' means, to you, a dictator or ignoring the Constitution, then DeSantis is not foolish enough to do that.

There is nothing funny about what DeSantis is doing to imprint Conservative values within his state. The question is: How many other states are going to adopt the same moves DeSantis has made in order to wake Conservatives up to the predations of the Progressive Left?
We'll see how his re-election efforts turn out.

No, he will just stop talking about especially it in such insulting terms. He is going to have to tone down his rhetoric plenty. He talks about small government and then he imposes his will on private businesses, local municipal governments and women. States are not going to put up with his crap at a National level and he knows darn well he can't get to the WH with just the Trump Republican base. DeSantis is a lot of things but stupid isn't one of them.

I am not surprised this happened. Ron DeSantis is basically a plantation-owning bigot who should never have been in office in the first place.

DeSantis is a winner and those who profess WOKE ideas are going to lose in every red and purple state.
Why do you think Youngkin won the governorship in VA? Or have you forgotten so soon?

DeSantis is anything but a “winner”, and no amount of tearful sobbing about “woke” this and “communist plot” can change that.

To you Trump cultists, “wokeness” is anything up to and including pointing out that the Confederacy was fighting to defend slavery and Jim Crow was tyranny.

First off, I want Trump to disappear and not win.
Tell me, Tiger pundit, what has DeSantis lost at thus far?
The reason he is in the news so much is that he is making all the right moves for Conservatives. Why do you think Democrats, like you, feel the need to vilify him?
And Democrats will always be the party of the Confederacy and Jim Crow laws along with Ku Klux Klan membership.
Let's call a spade a spade.

If he needs to tone down his rhetoric in order to become more popular, he will.
All through 2020, Democrats were modeling Biden as a Moderate. Then he was elected, and Presto Magico, he is now a Progressive kowtowing to his Progressive base.
That's why you and the Left are so worried about DeSantis. He's doing all the right things to get himself elected.

I suspect you were not paying attention to Biden during the campaign. Every single thing he pushed these last two years was a campaign promise.....every single one.

No, the reason he’s in the news so much is because he’s a scumbag caudillo wannabe. Duh.

Well gee, for starters he just got slapped down again, as the OP clearly demonstrates.

Calling a spade a spade?

Gee, you mean like pointing out how conservatives are too cowardly to ever face the fact that it was CONSERVATIVE Democrats in the south?

Neo confederates just give up already.

In fact the KKK helped deathsantis get into office. Were all getting tired of these ****ing privileged cousin ****ers ruling over us. It might take another war to finally wipe the US clean of this stench.
