And following the governor’s comments, a nearly identical state Senate version of the bill passed Florida’s Senate Education Committee on Tuesday along party lines.
"Make no mistake — this is not an isolated action. Across the country, we’re seeing Republican leaders take actions to regulate what students can or cannot read, what they can or cannot learn, and most troubling, who they can or cannot be," a White House spokesperson said in a statement."This is politics at its worse, cynically using our students as pawns in political warfare."
“Parental rights? Whose parental rights? Only parental rights if you’re raising a child according to DeSantis?" she said."DeSantis tries to paint this picture that every family is this 1950s mom and dad with two kids and a cat and dog. That is not what Florida looks like; that is not what the country looks like.”
Makes me wonder about him.
This bill will have a body count associated with it, if it passes.
Based on the comments here, I can see that no one actually read the article. BTW- It is not my K-8 grade teachers job to discuss sexuality with my child.
You're gonna need a bigger closet, Ron.
Florida sure did love the 1950’s . WOW, backwards progress
Nice
Throw the bum out. Next thing folks will have to bow and kiss his ring.
Does he think he is the king of the kingdom?
Vlad Putin’s twin tho Vlad much smarter!
Thank God! Someone needs to prioritize. We have kids who cant read by 8th grade, and people are worried about teaching them what genders they COULD be. Definitely not the role of public ed.
Reading, writing, arithmetic please
It’s not a “discussion” if you’re “teaching” anything. And if it’s behavior being taught in schools, it’s called “indoctrination.” Behavior is left to parents to teach at home and for the PTA to guide teachers in schools.
Doesn’t belong in schools
Lithuania already has this law. It’s a stupid law.
The one time Trump told the truth. All school children should be warned to stay away from your political views and choices for role models.
So much controversy put on schools.
Good!
All compulsory schools should be closed
I disagree with everything he had said and that I employ to all people in Florida to destroy all bills targeting schools, teachers, unions, students, abortion, CRT, and LGBT materials.
Red meat to the rabid supporters with nonsense legislation, it is not taught in primary schools, there isn't the time
Man! I love this guy! A no BS, straight talking Governor who strives to restore sanity to society! Florida Kalifonia will trade you GavinNewsom and NancyPelosi for your GovRonDeSantis !
Absolutely. Let the parents discuss such with their kids. Not teachers or education systems.
This is SO True! 'The larger issue with all of this is parents must have a seat at the table when it comes to what's going on in their schools.'
GovRonDeSantis & GOP
How about ALL schools. Let parents teach their kids about that BULLSHIZZ, because tgat's what it is BULLSHIZZ!!! 🙏💜✌️
So common sense is winning again?
He’s crazy
Talking about cancel culture and censorship
Education should not be centered around how people 'identify'. Who cares what you do with your genitals when the lights are out? Idgaf if your gay, straight, bi or whatever. Just like idc about someone's religion. Its individual choice, shouldn't be forced.
More government overreach from the GQP
So sick of this dude...Florida cant go underwater soon enough. 😬
Finally, we can punish the straights, send them to detention if we see them kissing or holding hands
I believe this is called cancel culture
That's a normal thing to do, and anyone who opposes this is either a pedophile or a groomer.
More Christofascism. First they tell you what you can read and teach.
Don’t fup the young children’s minds. It’s information not education 😡
Cavemen
How about discussing GovRonDeSantis sexual orientation and gender? I have so many questions. DeathSantis Floriduh
GovRonDeSantis is obviously NOT running for POTUS in 2024, whatever was cool about him and covid, its being replaced with standard republican/christian craziness.
RonDeSantisFL just wants to stay in the closet where it's acceptable to his right-wing friends.
He is not sane. I hope the real conservative but decent GOP calls him out! How many people know, are related to or are themselves in these LBGTQ communities? God did not create mistakes!
F 🐑 DeStainish
So he is supporting a mandate....?
I have to wonder what ever happened to conservative republicans interest in small government in Florida? With Desantis his continued efforts to pass a law against everythin seems like a huge reversal of republican doctrine? Or are we legislating what he doesn't like?
And? Shaddup
Vote Blue in November. I
