Conservative 11th Circuit Justices Kill DeSantis's Stop Woke Law
This law, and the thinking behind it, was unconstitutional from the beginning.
In their ruling, the three justices, including two Trump appointees, said:
"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 scales. By limiting its restrictions to a list of ideas designated as offensive, the Act targets speech based on its content. And by barring only speech that endorses any of those ideas, it penalizes certain viewpoints — the greatest First Amendment sin." (bold emphasis mine)

As much as I don’t like him, I am not opposed to golf courses on public land. I am not a golfer but there are plenty of people who do golf here in Florida. As long as they build and maintain the courses sustainably the land could be enjoyed by more people.
