For all those who defended this because "little kids don't need to know about homosexuality" -- we told you this was coming. [/quote]

You guys are illiterate?

"Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) last month proposed to the board a rule that would only [b]allow discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in fourth through 12th grade if it is in line with state curriculum or in a health class a student can choose not to participate in[/b]."

That's how the civilized world does education. Teaching is aligned with the curriculum, not with partisan propaganda.

Are you seriously that gullible? Let me spell it out for you. They are going to change the curriculum to ensure this doesn’t align with it. “If it aligns with the state curriculum” is subjective and vague. Make it confusing so that teachers have no idea if it’s aligned or not. Plenty of teachers are removing classic literature from their content and libraries because of this.[b] It’s easier to just not go there[/b], hence the moniker Don’t Say Gay. [/quote]

Yup.
My sister lives in Florida.  Her 3rd grader got assigned a report on a specific woman during Womens History Month.  My sister emailed the teacher a clarification question about the person, and the teacher responded with "She can just do any woman she wants"   It was so clear the teacher didn't want to actually engage with a parent, and just basically let the parents do anything at this point.  The exodus from the teaching profession in Florida is going to be enormous this year.[/quote]
