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]

ITA.  Our kids need to be educated in mathematics, history, science, technology, and language.  
It is ridiculous to spend precious time discussing gender and sexuality.

And, note that discussion on gender and sexual identity are not banned in grades 4-12....

"would only 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."  (from the link above)

And, one more thing.....

There is no such thing as "don't say gay" bill.  In Florida, or anywhere else.  [/quote]

It's EXACTLY what it means. And you know it.

Teachers will be afraid, and stop any discussion. I can't wait until 10th graders start bringing it up and school. You know RW kids will tell their teachers, who will try to get the teachers fired.

Why should anything be off limits to talk about in school? are we not the home of the FREE and the BRAVE? I guess not.[/quote]

Because some things- like sexual morals - should be taught at home, within the confines of individual family religious and other beliefs. I don’t want me kids taught about transgenderism. If you want your five year old “educated” on this subject, go right ahead. [/quote]

The post is about 10th graders, not 5 year olds.  That seems like a reasonable she to understand transgenderism at some level.  What age would be appropriate in your opinion?   I don't think I want my teenager to be an ignorant person.[/quote]

Please tell us all what there is to "understand" about transgenderism. Other than... well....[/quote]
