College students and professors in Florida are suing education officials over a new law spurred by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' war on "woke," saying it violates their constitutional rights by censoring academic freedom. The lawsuit was filed in federal court by students and professors at New College, a progressive school with a prominent LGBTQ+ community that was taken over earlier this year by DeSantis and his allies, who claimed it was indoctrinating students with leftist ideology. The suit alleges that the law is unconstitutional because it is overly broad and stifles free speech.
