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]

Huh? You never took sex ed? I fully support public school inclusion of sex ed including discussion of the fact that sometimes people have different orientation. My elementary school kid already knows that sometimes guys marry guys and girls marry girls, what are you so afraid of?  [/quote]

What are you afraid of?[/quote]

Tell me. So in English class, are kids allowed at all to read a book about two gay people in love under this law? It's ok to read a book that discusses relationship difficulties if the characters are straight, but not if they have a different sexual orientation?

Still waiting for the answer on this one. [/quote]

As I understand it, this is not an issue at all. The issue is the promotion/ teaching of this kind of thing in health-type classes.

I also support the Governor on this one, BTW. [/quote]

How is it "promotion" to acknowledge that people have different sexualities? If you think mentioning gay sexuality is promoting it, then I am going to declare that mentioning hetero sexuality is promoting that lifestyle and it too should be forbidden. So basically, no sex ed at all. Back into the dark ages.

Instead, let's send the message to kids -- kids here -- that they're so offensive, the mere mention of people like them in a book is getting the book banned. Let's send the message directly to kids that only if the topic is people like them will confidentiality with a school counselor be breached. Let's send the message to kids that only when topics of people like them are broached in school with a counselor (NOT in the classroom, with a counselor or privately with a teacher) and their parents aren't immediately notified, the school can be sued. So they're left with no privacy where others are granted that same right. [i]Only if it's kids like them.[/i]

You GOP'ers must be so proud of yourselves, legislating such hatred of children. [/quote]
