In at least 15 states, GOP officials have passed educational gag orders prohibiting classroom conversations about race, racism, and LGBTQ issues in public schools. Florida’s “Stop W.O.K.E Act,” a portion of which was challenged in federal court last fall, has been at the vanguard of these right-wing attacks on educators and progressive movements. In their Left & the Law segment, Jan Haaken and Mike Snedeker review the history of "anti-woke" legislation and discuss recent legal challenges in the courts and political resistance on college campuses.
