Would Florida be required to provide examples in this court case?

I imagine that if DeSantis and Florida DOE had a big issue with CRT then they could provide 100s of examples of CRT that are in Florida schools that are considered harmful to students to justify the need for the legislation. Florida is a big state with lots of schools and colleges. If CRT is an issue in Florida then there should be no problem providing those examples to the court if they exist.

Probably. There is a violation of the Constitution is a law is 'unconstitutionally vague'.

Remember. we're talking about college here.

The Stop W.O.K.E. Act is the direct descendant of FL laws which criminalized the colleges' teaching about integration.

Well, this is good news:

Quote:
Last Thursday, August 18th, Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker granted a temporary injunction prohibiting the Stop WOKE Act from being enforced. Within his 44-page reasoning for restricting the new law that Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis championed, he berated the legislation, saying it was "bordering on unintelligible" as he ruled it unconstitutional for violating First Amendment rights.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ju...ct/ar-AA10VIGl

At the start of the judge's ruling:

Quote:
Recently, Florida has seemed like a First Amendment upside down. Normally, the First Amendment bars the state from burdening speech, while private actors may burden speech freely. But in Florida, the First Amendment apparently bars private actors from burdening speech, while the state may burden speech freely.

The current injunction seems to be only on workplace training. We'll have to wait and see what the judges feel about a restraint on colleges.

There is nothing childish or simplistic about asking participants in this discussion to define the parameters of the debate, and it is most certainly not an attempt to derail the conversation; my questions were an attempt to help focus it.

Our state never had anything going on of the laws he implemented. Zero. I will inject crazy rouge teachers to include predators in every walk of life to include teachers, but never was there a curriculum or teaching of any kind.
He flexed his muscles against the schools with the mask mandates. Like Dade county superintendent stated.
I have 30,000 students in my district- only 30 families complained of masking. The man in a bully. But there is big money in Utah. Soon we will be wearing long pink dresses with our hair in a bun. Parents need to read between the line. Seriously!

Let me know when you are forced to wear a dress and shuffle along barefooted, looking down Where is that in the legislative process and who is sponsoring it? It's about to be law right? Have you bought your dress yet???

Get. Out. Of Your. Social. Feedback Loop.

I've never seen so many adult p-ssoed off that they can't show 5 year olds how to have sex.

There is no word for it.

You were proposing a one size fits all approach to education, don't back peddle over little things like translating into different languages and teaching different cultures.


And we need fed curriculum in govt schools to teach the kids to identify propaganda?

As the judge explained:

Quote:
“If Florida truly believes we live in a post-racial society, then let it make its case,” Walker wrote in his ruling. “But it cannot win the argument by muzzling its opponents. Because, without justification, the (law) attacks ideas.”

Teachers are complaining because they don't get to sexualize and control the minds of small children. That is what is really happening.

The lawsuit concerns colleges.
