DeSantis' Law, Barring Critical Race Theory, To Take Effect in Florida.
ABC News reports Florida Governor
Ron DeSantis has seemingly succeeded in his efforts to quell race education in the state.
The Stop WOKE Act will ban any
training focused on diversity or race
in education and the workplace.
The act passed easily through the state's GOP-heavy legislature. Soon after, a federal judge declined to block it.
The law will go into effect on July 1.
Those in favor of the Stop WOKE Act
are against the discipline of critical
race theory in education.
WOKE is an acronym for
"Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees.".
Critical race theory is the study of racism and how it has shaped the lives of non-white citizens of the United States.
In recent memory, it has been
a talking point for conservatives.
As he signed the bill into law, DeSantis spoke of defending Florida from the woke agenda.
In Florida, we will not let the far-left woke agenda take over our schools and workplaces. , Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, via ABC News

Gas Prices in the United States , Now Average $5 Per Gallon.
ABC News reports fuel prices in the
United States officially exceeded
averages of $5 per gallon on June 9.
Data from AAA shows drivers in California currently average prices of $6.40 per gallon.
Experts say a continued drastic rise
in fuel prices is due to a recent
boom in summer travel.
Higher demand has coincided
with shortages of crude oil
due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
which prompted a widespread industry exit,
leaving millions of barrels of oil off of the market.
As consumers face increased prices at the pump, they have directed their frustrations toward President Joe Biden.
Per a recent ABC/Ipsos poll,
only 37% of Americans approve of
Biden's handling of the economy.
Congressional Republicans say Biden's mismanagement of the country's oil supply has caused increased prices.
