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

Is desantis a closeted gay man or something?  He seems obsessively focused on this non issue.[/quote]

It’s hardly a non-issue. Fully support this and hope other states follow suit. There is simply no reason to be discussing/ promoting things like this in schools. [/quote]

Screw you.  The reason to discuss this is because sexual orientation is not a “choice” but a biological attribute. Too many gay people like me have committed suicide before adulthood because society told them that being gay wasn’t an option.[/quote]

+1 and the bill supporters that were posting here are suddenly quiet because they don't want to admit they are homophobic.[/quote]

So sexual orientation is ‘biologically determined’ but gender is fluid and based on a person’s feelings any given day?
Florida has done well to remove unscientific, incoherent, and predatory ideologies from the curriculum.

PS they can still say gay in school, and they can still read age appropriate books in school and have age appropriate discussions in school on both homosexuality and heterosexuality. However the era of grooming, pornography, and denial of parent’s civil rights is coming to an end.

No, they really can't "still say gay" in the classroom, not that there was any of it happening from an instruction point that the GOP is so afraid of. The statute was vaguely worded on purpose to create a massive chilling effect, coupled with a private right of action giving all the homophobes a way to sue the school should their kid ever hear anything that smacks of "woke gay talk" in the classroom, be it referring to "my husband" from a male teacher or god forbid a gay character in a book on the library shelf. That's not teaching "gay ideology" that's teaching a book that happens to have a gay character in it. Sort of like, I don't know, real life. It's * specifically designed* to have the chilling effect. That's its entire purpose and its way to be self-enforcing based on fear. Are you so willfully ignorant that you don't see that? Open your damn eyes you fool. [/quote]

Please provide evidence from the actual bill or sworn testimony from those who claim mistreatment that discussion/behaviors as you stated have been proscribed (I’m aware of restrictions upon adult material within prek/elementary schools, obviously I’m fine with that).

You see my eyes are open, I do read, and I’m not compelled by uninformed hysteria or soundbyte propaganda. However if I misread the bill I’m willing to change my mind.[/quote]
