I LOVE how all you all are falling for the DeSantis story.
Why did he make that bill stop at grade 3? Is it appropriate to discuss private sex lives with kids in grade 4? Why did he sign the "don't talk mean about the small somberos" bill? Why is he pretending FL textbooks can't have crt and 1619 stuff in them when I have on my laptop right this moment a "social studies" book with exactly that crap in it?
All you all are being tricked into think he's based and will flock to elect him president.
Stop being so fucking easy to trick. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80266796 ^this
It's theater and, when you start reading the fine print, you'll see how the smoke and mirrors is edging in shit that the leftists want.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78756708 Here it is, page 4:
"3. Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3..."

Children in 4th grade (age 9) and up are not protected under DeSantis's Bill. ALL students should be protected - parents of students of all ages should have their parental rights respected and not have this agenda pushed onto their children. As it is, the government keeps trying to make the age of consent lower and lower. Schools are keeping medical (gender transitioning) secret from parents. Teachers and schools should have absolutely no right whatsoever to discuss sexual orientation and gender identity with any student.
To the second point raised, DeSantis signed a Bill that would curtail expressions of free speech towards a certain group of people. I'm not an anti semite and don't consider myself racist, sexist, etc - however, I'm for the First Amendment and believe all speech, even speech we don't like or agree with, should be protected.

I totally support the 'no patient left alone act' - I don't want to see state or private policies prohibit, inhibit, limit our freedoms.
However, what I'm seeing from DeSantis when it comes to parental rights and the anti semitism censorship bill is that it is impeding upon our Constitutional rights and allowing leftists to codify their agenda into laws.
