"On Thursday, a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a request from the DeSantis administration to overturn a previous ruling which blocked the Individual Freedom Act, also known as the Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees Act, being used in higher education institutions.

The legislation is a continuation of DeSantis' battle against the "woke agenda" and education, which has also seen the governor introducing the "Don't Say Gay" bill and banning the teaching of critical race theory in K-12 classes. Critics have accused the Act of violating the First Amendment, as well as having the potential to harm race relations."

The point was never to pass an enforceable law. The point was to burnish DeSantis' anti-"woke" credentials, keep the topic of "wokeness" in the news, and put Democrats in a position of having to defend marginalized people which Republicans are banking on being a losing issue for Dems.
