[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am my 41 years old, back then teachers won't talk about how awesome it is to be gay, I don't know if I had any single gay teacher because they didn't tell us their life story. they taught, they didn't teach us about PRONOUS or CRT either.[/quote]

Of course you had a gay teacher you fool.[/quote]

Exactly the PP's point. It's not something he/she needed to know.[/quote]

Keep 'em in that closet don't you know! Maybe ask the teachers how they felt having to be closeted at work.[/quote]

I don't think that's what the law is saying. I'm not here to defend it but perhaps it's similar to discussing religion. If it comes up incidentally (e.g., "Mr. Jones, what are doing for winter break? Oh, we're celebrating Christmas at..."), then it's not problematic. I had several gay teachers at my high school in the 1990s, including my drama teacher. We all knew about his partner and it did not matter. It shouldn't. However, I could see how pontificating on someone's identity might be taking it too far. For fellow liberals, suppose an evangelical did the same thing by speaking of how important "being saved by Jesus" is in public school? [/quote]

Do you have specific examples of teachers pontificating about these issues?

My kids have grown up in an uber liberal district and no one has pontificated to them about gender or sexual identity.  Nor are those topics off-limits. If you have a law specifically targeting the LGBTQ community it's going to make teachers fear saying anything about their single sex partner. It will. You can't deny that. [/quote]

+1. I have two kids in an ultra-woke DC public elementary school and there is no talk about gender/sexual identity. Nothing. Literally the only thing is the school asked what gender my kids identify as, and that is it. Literally nothing. Just a lot of hysterical people posting nonsense on a board and nothing actually happens in schools. Meanwhile kids actually dying of gunshot wounds and what are Florida representatives doing about that? I mean, look at the kids that died in the Parkland school shooting. ACTUAL FATAL INJURIES TO KIDS.

I'm so angry at this utter waste of breath legislation for literally no good reason.

And I'm STILL WAITING for someone to provide any concrete examples that this legislature was necessary in schools and not one GOP leaning person has responded with anything. Just deflection, sarcastic jokes, etc. [/quote]

Tell me your secret for finding out everything your kids are told at school each day

Asking for a friend[/quote]

Oh please. So we need this legislation because of [i]suspicion[/i] my kids' teachers are secretly promoting some agenda at school because FoxNews said so. The hysteria runs deep.

FWIW my kids tell me everything, generally. And we talk quite openly in my household so I have explicitly told my kids that "yes, girls can love and marry girls and boys can love and marry boys" My kids have kid friends with homosexual married parents.

And no, the school is quite literally not discussing anything you think with the kids. All I've gotten is a letter about my kid being taught about respecting body boundaries in a special family life education unit in 3rd grade whre I can see that next year in 4th grade, they get into sex ed. That's it. I see the books they read, the projects they do, get weekly emails about their topical units such as how government works, how plants grow, yadda yadda yadda.
