3/6 – The 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with a lower court’s decision that blocked part of HB 7, known as Florida’s Stop WOKE Act, describing it as a ‘First Amendment sin.’ The act, signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in April 2022, included a provision that banned employers from providing mandatory workplace diversity training. In the 22-page opinion, the Court affirmed that the ban was unconstitutional, and stated that “we reject this latest attempt to control speech by re-characterizing it as conduct.”
