[quote=Anonymous]Everyone keeps saying "teach the curriculum" and that I pay teachers to teach math, not sexuality! But come on, school is more than math! That's one subject. There's also reading, and you can see the book banning happening now. There's civics, and they're gutting the substance of what can be taught there, what civil rights movements can be taught and in what way. Science and biology - hooo boy, that's being gutted. There's history, getting slashed and edited. How can you all not see this? A statute like this is affecting every class. Being a gay kid in these classes and they're being shoved right back into the closet. They won't see themselves represented anywhere. Not even as a character in a novel. I get that for many of you this is the goal. Great job. But those of us who know gay children in high school and middle school in Florida, they see exactly what's happening and they feel it. They are experiencing themselves being erased.

"Teaching the curriculum" is going to become some new slang term for homophobia and bigotry...[/quote]
