Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has just signed bills that will cut the legs out from under woke education programs at state colleges and universities.

In a signing ceremony on May 15 at Sarasota’s New College—whose recent reform has been a hallmark of DeSantis’s anti-woke campaign—the governor signed one bill, Senate Bill 266, that eliminates funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in the state system.
