1. Ron DeSantis is not age appropriate.

[Takket]

2. Do parents have a choice to not have their child interrogated???

[Lochloosa]

3. Yes. And they are required to be present if and when it's done.

Let me catch them doing that to my grandkids 😡

21. What are the police going to learn by scaring these kids?? This should NOT be allowed!!

[sheshe2]

4. He won't protect them from mass shootings...

However Disney is a threat to their lives.

[SharonClark]

5. Well said.

[JustAnotherGen]

9. This

[Timeflyer]

11. Exactly!

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. So much this

[ashredux]

6. Just plain sick. Ridiculous is not strong enough a word. Perverse is what he's doing.

This is the genesis of the “thought police”. Do not think it is such.

7. "But all I did was go to school that day."

Damn fascists are terrorizing children.

[riversedge]

[Wonder Why]

8. Send the little kiddies to Guantanamo. The Satanist knows what to do there!

10. When will the national media report this?

[housecat]

12. Maybe the State runs the media and the corporations run the State

In a word -- money

[Bev54]

13. They have reported it, I heard it on MSNBC

[onecaliberal]

15. Okay. I watched Joy and now watching Chris. Haven't heard it.

[OMGWTF]

16. I would call DeSatan a c#nt but he lacks warmth and depth.

Seriously, all that's missing is the weird little mustache.

[soldierant]

17. I don't think I even need to comment on this ...

[CaptainTruth]

18. One thing I don't understand...

...the article says:

"The Parental Rights in Education Act, passed last year and known by critics as “Don’t Say Gay,” prohibits educators from teaching about gender and sexual identity in kindergarten through third grade"

So educators can't teach where the "Boys" & "Girls" restrooms are & can't tell their students which one to use? This Act basically says kids can use the opposite-sex bathrooms & teachers can't stop them because that would be teaching about gender, right?

[NullTuples]

19. Wait; are you looking for logical consistency? It's literally against their religion.

[angrychair]

20. People in Florida voted for that

They wanted this because they voted for Republicans in large numbers. The Republicans in Florida didn't make any of their plans secret.

23. Has that goon taken down his twitter account or just blocked me? What an ass.

I usually take the opportunity, when a GQP does something abhorrent to say something to them on twitter but he has removed himself.
