Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced a lawsuit against Biden’s Department of Education to stop accrediting agencies from having power over the state’s colleges and universities in his ongoing war against “woke” ideology.

Attorney General Ashley Moody joined DeSantis during a news conference on June 22, announcing a lawsuit challenging a federal requirement that public postsecondary schools must receive approval from private accreditors to receive federal education funds worth billions of dollars.
