the stop woke act in colleges and universities joining us now is florida state representative anna eskamani representative eskamani, through for joining us, i know you've been involved in battles to basically stop what the governor and others are trying to do to florida education. how are you reading this victory in court today it is not permanent, it is a temporary victory but do you think it portends anything as far as a larger battle >> first of all, thanks so much for having me. it's a big victory for us, especially since right now we have house bill 999, which is a huge takeover of higher education in florida, canceling certain wages and minors including woman and gender studies which i studied, it goes after tenure changes, general education courses and it cancels dei and crt and much of it bill's focus comes out of that anti-woke act hb-7 the fact that we have this temporary victory in court does speak to the thrust of house bill 999 and how that is also going to be unconstitutional. >> i just wonder and certainly the battle in and around these issues in higher ed seems to have gotte

i'm so happy to have you bot here representative anna eskamani how did this legislation eve make ithank you so much for havin us and to your point more than 200 people showed up for the hearing, house bill 99 including members of the divin nine alumni and students are fighting back against. this all that comes from governor desantis and hi political ambitions, trying to out-trump trump has led him to attack public at escalatio k-12 and now, of course, highe education. >> senator jones icu repping for the man of alpha faye alph fraternity incorporated. the senate is going to take ou this legislation on wednesday. you called the language in thi bill vague can you expand on that >> absolutely, thank you having, me simone the reason i said tha it was vague, because of how i was temperature today. it can be interpreted to where you have some universities and colleges which will begin to look at this as, you know what these policies right now withi the divine nine, they go again the stop woke act. all this conversation about th elimination of the eye - it's a latest attack on cultur that

joining us now is florida state representative anna eskamani, representative eskamani, thank you for of. it. let's just first start with disney and the degree to which you think the governor is trying to weaponize state oversight to effectively cancel disney culture, as it were. >> think so much for having me, alex. so much of what governor desantis does is fake populism. as he talks about ending the corporate kingdom, he's been giving billions of dollars in tax breaks to some of the states largest corporations, walt disney world included. he's done nothing to close corporate tax loopholes, and in fact i've followed legislation to do just that. and republicans have not committed to giving me one hearing. in the case of reedy creek, the governor's ability to appoint all five members, feeding it to extremism, also crony capitalism, just highlights that he really isn't a guy that's tough on corporate actors. he actually just wields cultural wars to his favor while continuing to give corporations the tax breaks that, really, they care the most about. >> can i just say -- this seems like
