Cruelty 6,173 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 The Parental Rights in Education bill, dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill by LGBTQ activists, has now been passed by both the Florida Senate and House. The bill would limit what classrooms can teach about sexual orientation and gender identity. Under this legislation, these lessons "may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards." The bill would also allow parents to sue schools or teachers that engage in these topics. If the bill is ultimately signed into law, it would go into effect July 1. Gov. Ron DeSantis has said he supports the bill, though he hasn't explicitly said he will sign it if it crosses his desk. LGBTQ activists and advocates slammed the decision to move the legislation forward, saying it will harm queer youth by shunning representation and inclusion from classrooms. They also say erasing the presence of the LGBTQ community from lessons implies students should be ashamed or should suppress their gender identity or sexual orientation.

Forget student loans for now Yeah, I'm going to have to disagree with this. & the only reason I say that is because that is and has been the thinking of the democratic party for at least the past decade & we still have things like this monstrosity happening. We deserve to have both & the idea of saying, "Yeah, well.....it's really unrealistic to have both so I'll settle for this over that," just isn't going to cut it. I understand being pragmatic about what is realistic but if you're not pushing for what you want then you're not going to reach a compromise (likely result) that anywhere near moves the goalpost to what is ideal (what we want & deserve).

Stephen 30,433 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 A ****ing disgrace. The deadliest hate crime in American history happened in Florida and the government sends a clear message to its LGBT+ citizens that they don't matter. Progress will leave these people behind. They can kick and scream and pass all the bs legislation they want but in the end we will win. It's just a shame how many vulnerable young people will be harmed by their stupidity and hubris.
