GAINESVILLE, Fla.— Students on a handful of university campuses across Florida walked out of their classes in a coordinated effort on Feb. 23 to show their disapproval for Gov. Ron DeSantis’s policies to fight “wokeness” in the state university system.

Organizers of the protest said about 1,000 students joined in at a handful of the 12 public universities in the state. The system has more than 341,000 students enrolled.
