Florida Governor Ron DeSantis addresses the crowd before publicly signing HB7, ‘individual freedom’, also dubbed the “stop woke” bill during a press conference at Mater Academy Charter Middle/High School in Hialeah Gardens, Florida, on Friday, April 22, 2022.

Public university professors in Florida may continue to share their opinions about racism, s*xism, and discrimination in the classroom — at least for now — after three federal judges upheld a ban on enforcement of a controversial law that GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis has hailed as f*ghting “indoctrination.”

A three-judge panel upheld an injunction against the so-called “Stop W.O.K.E. Act,” which DeSantis has said provides teachers with “tools to stand up against discrimination and woke indoctrination.” The legislation — HB 7, formally called the “Stop Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees Act” — is aimed at blocking teachers from offering their opinions on what DeSantis described as “pernicious ideologies” that could potentially make students, because of their race, feel personally responsible for past racism, s*xism, or other discrimination in the U.S.

Critics have said it’s an attempt to stop meaningful discussion of the ongoing effects of longstanding systemic discrimination and topics including critical race theory and privilege.

A federal district judge issued an injunction blocking enforcement of the law in November. On Thursday, three judges on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that ruling.

“Appellants’ motions to stay injunction pending appeal are DENIED,” the ruling said (emphasis in original).

The tersely worded order came with additional instructions, should the defendants decide to challenge the ruling.

“The Clerk is DIRECTED to treat any motion for reconsideration of this order as a non-emergency matter,” the order said.

The order was signed by U.S. Circuit Judges Charles Wilson, a Bill Clinton appointee, and Britt Grant and Barbara Lagoa, both Donald Trump appointees.

Within months of the law being enacted, two lawsuits over the legislation had been filed. In August, Black professors and a student filed a civil rights claim, calling the law “racially motivated censorship.”

A student and professor, represented by the advocacy organization Foundation for Individual Expression (FIRE), sued in September, accusing the law of violating First Amendment free speech protections.

In November, U.S. District Judge Mark Eaton Walker issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting enforcement of the law, calling it “positively dystopian” and accusing Florida officials of demanding that public university professors act as “the State’s mouthpieces” in the classroom.

“Professors must be able to discuss subjects like race and gender without hesitation or fear of state reprisal,” a spokesperson for FIRE told Law&Crime in an email. “Any law that limits the free exchange of ideas in university classrooms should lose in both the court of law and the court of public opinion.”

A spokesperson for the governor expressed confidence that DeSantis will ultimately prevail.

“The Court did not rule on the merits of our appeal,” DeSantis press secretary Bryan Griffin said in an email. “The appeal is ongoing, and we remain confident that the law is constitutional.”

A spokesperson for the State University System of Florida Board of Governors told Law&Crime that the board does not comment on pending litigation.

The federal docket doesn’t indicate a future hearing date. Briefs from the state defendants are due in April.

“Oh sh*t a Woke act!!!!”

“ What republicans don’t want people to learn about this?”

All while the economy is collapsing, we’re gearing towards a world war, crime is out of control, and Biden played black people again promising an agenda he had no intentions on trying to do.

I’ll hear from you next time CNN post an article about some irrelevant law that some republicans brought up that will have 0 effect on anyone lives.

BX Revolutionaries still gonna swear up and down that anti-woke today isn't still about black people, but instead just gays

Hey d*ckhead, the vast majority of America doesn't align with the right wing you moron.

Enjoy living in your echo chamber of mostly middle aged white men telling you what to be outraged about f*g**t. You'll continue to be miserable and everyone else will laugh at you whining like you constantly do.

When covid happened "oh no I can't get a haircut"..
when black people were getting shot "oh no won't you think of the police officers"..
when race gets brought up "oh no we can't have our children learn about how racist America was"..
when rich white folks were getting away with crimes you said nothing but will be quick to demonize George Floyd...

We know the game, stay in your lane like the fragile pu**y you are

Now go on and whine like a bi*ch
