The Florida Board of Education has expanded the state’s restrictions on teaching students about sexual orientation or gender identity to all K-12 public schools.

People march toward the St. Pete Pier in St. Petersburg, Fla., on March 12, 2022, during a protest against the controversial "Don't Say Gay" bill. The Florida Board of Education on April 19, 2023, approved a ban on classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in all grades. | Martha Asencio-Rhine/Tampa Bay Times via AP PhotoTALLAHASSEE, Fla.

State education officials said the rule is meant to ensure that educators stick to Florida’s teaching standards while opponents warned it could wedge a divide between LGBTQ students and teachers who support them. “We shouldn’t be asking our teachers to be teaching mental health or providing that,” Diaz added. “They should be more of a conduit to pass that on.”

Thank Darth DeSatin for this! He is the evil one!!

This stuff belongs at home, in church or at the doctor's office. Thank you, Governor, for your courage, ur intention to make things right. Very, very troubling for screwed up people. Deus vult.

Gop FASCISTS strikes again

Progressives should illustrate the absurd overreach of this culture war crap by challenging every bit of curriculum, every lesson plan, every book that mentions moms, dads, boys or girls. If you can't say gay b/c you ban talk of gender orientation & ID, straights gotta go to.

This is fascism.
