“In this case, the State of Florida lays the cornerstone of its own Ministry of Truth under the guise of the Individual Freedom Act, declaring which viewpoints shall be orthodox and which shall be verboten in its university classrooms,” Walker wrote.
Walker’s decision comes just over a week after DeSantis celebrated his 19-point re-election victory over Democrat Charlie Crist with a combative speech in which he used Churchillian rhythms to tout his accomplishments.
“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen,” and the powers in charge of Florida’s public university system have declared the State has unfettered authority to muzzle its professors in the name of ‘freedom,’” Walker wrote. What does it mean to be 'woke,' and why does Florida Governor Ron DeSantis want to stop it?
Griffin added that the law,"protects the open exchange of ideas by prohibiting teachers or employers who hold agency over others from forcing discriminatory concepts on students as part of classroom instruction or on employees as a condition of maintaining employment."
