Description

In a victory for academic freedom in the United States, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the so-called Stop Woke Act, the informal name for a law backed by Trump ally and Gov. Ron DeSantis. The statute tried to censor professors from teaching certain topics. In a powerful ruling, Trump-appointed U.S. Circuit Judge Britt Grant called the law a "breathtaking assertion of power to ban unpopular ideas." The lead plaintiff, University of South Florida Prof. Adriana Novoa, and her attorney Greg Greubel, from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), join Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News.

Thank you Professor Novoa and Attorney Greg Greubel for fighting so hard for preserving the 1st amendment rights of the Professor and the students in this Florida university. DeSantis needs to be defeated at every turn, as he promotes un-American censorship of speech.
