The Florida Board of Education has voted to expand restrictions on classroom instruction related to sexual orientation and gender identity.

"This amendment prohibits classroom instruction to students in pre-kindergarten through Grade 3 on sexual orientation or gender identity. For Grades 4 through 12, instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited unless such instruction is either expressly required by state academic standards ... or is part of a reproductive health course or health lesson for which a student’s parent has the option to have his or her student not attend," according to the amendment.

This rule would build on the Parental Rights in Education law Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed in March 2022. The law bans classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity for students in kindergarten through third grade.

5. I'd love to see a giant crowd with megaphones surround the Capitol and Governor's mansion

and just chant "gay" over and over and over and over.

6. Right. If I was in high school I would chant it every time I walked down the hallway.

2. And republicans wonder why young people won't vote for them.

3. I assume elite private schools, where many GOP legislators send their kids, are exempt

7. Of course not. They want their kids to get into good colleges.

Terrible people, terrible legislators, terrible Xtians.

10. How are they going to control the kids who identify as gay or

Trans, or any other identity from being loud and proud???
Maybe there won’t be lessons in class but there will be kids on campus who won’t play it straight for Desantis
