- A federal appeals court decision on Monday prevented the enforcement of a law in Florida, supported by Governor Ron DeSantis, that limits how private companies can teach diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

- Julia Friedland, a spokeswoman for DeSantis, stated in a release on Tuesday that the governor's office is 'considering all options for future appeals.'
- The 'Stop Woke Act' was passed in March 2022 by the Republican-controlled Florida legislature and was a key priority for DeSantis, who labeled it as the 'Individual Freedom Measure.'
