Florida governor signs ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill banning classroom discussion about sexuality and gender into law
The Metro says Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the controversial ‘Parental Rights in Education’ bill into law on Monday, which will effectively bar school teachers in Florida from having classroom discussions about sexual orientation or gender identity.
The bill, which opponents have dubbed ‘Don’t Say Gay,’ was signed by the Republican governor on Monday. It reads, ‘A school district may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels.’
Supporters of the bill say its purpose is to allow parents to determine when and how to introduce LGBTQ+ topics to their children. It also gives parents an option to sue a school district if the policy is violated.
