Judge permanently blocks part of Florida's 'Stop WOKE Act' as unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds

A federal judge permanently blocked the part of Florida's "Stop Woke Act" that attempted to ban critical race theory training in private workplaces.

The "Stop Wrongs To Our Kids and Employees Act," otherwise known as the "Stop WOKE Act," sought to ban teachings or business practices that tell individuals that members of one ethnic group are inherently racist and should feel guilty of past actions committed by people of that ethnic group. 

It also prohibits pushing the idea that a person was either privileged or oppressed based on their race or gender. The law further bars the notion that discrimination is acceptable to achieve diversity.
