So much "winning" -- and flushing Florida taxpayer dollars down the toilet on indefensible government policies. Once again, the government should stay out of private businesses. Wasn't the Republican party founded on this principle. Private businesses can implement whatever Diversity & Inclusion training and policies they want. If they go "over the top" then the private business will be mocked, lose their customers and employees for excessive stupidity. But government needs to stay out of these private business decisions. Ron DeSantis suffers humiliating defeat in his war on “woke” businesses The appeals court unanimously ruled that Florida can't enforce a new law. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/03...liating-defeat-in-his-war-on-woke-businesses/
you were literally cheering Republican wins that ran on "CRT parents fighting back", another flavor of woke.
Critical race theory teaching methods -- which only should be utilized on adults over 18 as outlined by those who originally created CRT -- should not be used in K-12 public schools. Likewise government can institute DEI policies for government entities & employees within their particular scope of government (local, state, federal entities, etc.). However enacting and implementing DEI policies on private business is not appropriate for a government entity -- assuming the Diversity & Inclusion training or policies do not violate discrimination laws.
Right...I'm sure "lgbtqnation.com" is where we should be going for honest news reporting! Almost like "blogmickey", right, you total moron?
You do realize that Blog Mickey simply re-printed news from local Florida papers that was hidden behind firewalls. There were numerous people who bitched about news behind firewalls and then when I find a source with the exact same local paper articles they complain about the source.
DeSantis has continually and deliberately violated Florida's Sunshine Laws. Now he is being sued for it once again. Just how much Florida taxpayer money is going to be wasted on defending DeSantis for his inappropriate covering up of public records. Is hiding public records considered "winning". Florida Gov. DeSantis accused of lack of transparency, sued again in Tallahassee Courtrooms in Florida’s capital county have been busy with cases involving the DeSantis administration and public records. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/n...alleged-public-records-violation/72851395007/

So much "winning". A court primarily consisting of Trump appointed judges tells DeSantis to buzz off. A conservative court rebukes Republican censorship https://www.wral.com/story/david-french-a-conservative-court-rebukes-republican-censorship/21324482/ Those who don’t pay close attention to the right-wing civil war might miss the extent to which the political and legal wings of the conservative movement often find themselves on opposite sides. For example, classical liberal Federalist Society judges and justices have blocked the new right time and again — from turning back Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the election, to halting red-state attempts to implement college and corporate speech codes. This month, the classical liberals prevailed again. A three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit unanimously upheld a lower court injunction blocking parts of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ notorious “Stop WOKE Act.” Two of the three members of the appellate panel are Trump appointees, and a Trump appointee, Judge Britt Grant, wrote the majority opinion. The opinion itself is short and direct. Florida barred mandatory diversity training programs that endorsed ideas its Republican leaders reject. Prohibiting the private expression of ideas the state dislikes is textbook viewpoint discrimination, what Grant calls “the most pernicious of dividing lines under the First Amendment.” Grant is correct — “No matter how controversial the ideas,” she writes, “allowing the government to set the terms of the debate is poison, not antidote.” Grant’s opinion is particularly notable for another reason. Its opening paragraph is a subtle rebuke of the entire new right mindset. Grant writes: “This is not the first era in which Americans have held widely divergent views on important areas of morality, ethics, law and public policy. And it is not the first time that these disagreements have seemed so important, and their airing so dangerous, that something had to be done. But now, as before, the First Amendment keeps the government from putting its thumb on the scale.” To understand the significance of that paragraph, one has to understand how much the new right adopts a framework that desperate times call for desperate measures. It even uses the question, “Do you know what time it is?” to indicate that America is allegedly facing an unprecedented challenge and teeters on the brink of destruction. Yet the answer to division is dialogue, not censorship. Or, as Grant writes, “Intellectual and cultural tumult do not last forever, and our Constitution is unique in its commitment to letting the people, rather than the government, find the right equilibrium.” The case is merely the latest example of conservative judges rejecting red-state authoritarianism. One hopes Republicans get the message eventually. If not, the legal losses will continue until Republican commitment to the Constitution starts to improve.
