Florida teachers move to block DeSantis questions on CRT.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A group of Florida college professors on Wednesday asked a federal judge to block Gov. Ron DeSantis from requesting spending data on diversity, equity and inclusion and critical race theory programs in state universities., which restricts certain race-based conversations and analysis in colleges. Tallahassee U.S. District Judge Mark Walker has blocked the law, though DeSantis' office is appealing the decision.

The college educators, who are represented by the American Civil Liberties Union and Legal Defense Fund, argue the governor's request violates the court order blocking the “Stop WOKE” Act. The governor began pushing for the law late last year and the Republican-controlled Legislature passed it during the 2022 legislative session.
