The complaint asserts the new law violates the First Amendment by placing viewpoint-based restrictions on educators’ speech and classroom lessons.

In Florida, a similar lawsuit filed several years ago challenged the state's “Stop WOKE" act. A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction in 2022 blocking a portion of the law that restricted certain race-based conversations and analysis in colleges.

The case is on appeal, and in July the judge overturned a portion of the law related to private businesses.
