The groups that filed this lawsuit said the law violates the First Amendment rights of educators and students.

They also said it is unlawfully vague and would have forced K-12 public schools, as well as colleges and universities, to guess what was prohibited or risk losing funding.

This temporary block lasts until Sept. 18.
