Desantis signs bill into LAW to not teach sex ed to children 5-8 years old in Florida

[Big Bend Texas]

A governor doing his duty and protecting the tender aged children of his state.

Wow, how rare.

Well done Gov, well done.

 

[scruffy]

You cultists are fucking weird as shit to want the state to teach sex ed to 5-8 year old children.

Teach your children yourselves, you sick pedos.

Cant wait until the kids are 9!

WE HAVE TO TEACH KIDS ABOUT SEX AT THE AGE OF 5!

Your cult is sick.

Let's keep this reasonable. The lefties are concerned about families with two mommies. And their snowflake children. OMFG, they're going to get called names. Gasp. Ain't it horrible?

What about all the other kids who get called names? The left doesn't care about them. They only care about their precious little snowflakes. What about all the kids who get called Trump lovers just because their parents are patriots? I've heard kids call other kids Trump lovers just because their parents are in the service. Even though they're Democrats!

Kids will FIND a way to be hurtful. If you outlaw one way, they'll find another.

If the cult is concerned about kids with 2 mommies or 2 daddies getting teased, why dont they say that instead of lying about the bill and saying it is illegal to say GAY.

The cult is not reasonable.

Only pedifiles want to indoctrinate school children ages 5 thru 8 about gayness and are against the new Florida law. Thank God for Governor DeSantis

Six states have laws like this already (to varying degrees). This one is controversial because it's vague. I'm all for legal specificity. Same as the anti-CRT stuff, they use the word "divisive", what the heck does that mean?

They should do it like Paso Robles, where not only did they outlaw CRT, they outlawed its 5 main points individually. That's specific, that's good.

Parents pretty much refuse to talk to their kids about sex. If they do it turns out they are terribly misinformed as well. It's why sex education exists in the first place. Most parents were overjoyed to delegate "the talk" to others so they can keep pretending their kids are innocent little angels.

That's crap. You are either not a parent or you don't know any

Ask any teacher the considerable damage the Left did to children with the masks and shots. And just the virus in general. You're right, they don't care. Only about their pet dysfunctions of course.

Seriously...

Like kids don't know how to use the internet...

So yeah the contention is that this may limit teachers' First Amendment Rights. That's a real eye-roller for a couple of reasons. First, the First Amendment only means the govt will not persecute you for your speech. OBVIOUSLY your employer can and does limit what you can say.

Secondly, it's a real big trend in education to "build relationships" and "classroom culture". And the extent to which you are a warm, personable, knowledgeable teacher who has the best interest of her students in mind, this is good. But IMO it's become intrusive and extraneous in recent years. Most of my colleagues start with year with a slideshow like, "Meet Mrs. Smith". This includes all her interests, her family, pets, vacation, etc.

The kids DO NOT CARE about this. At least not at this point. They want to know if you're going to be kind, fair and fun. That's it. And education wouldn't NEED "Don't say gay" bills if we could get back to the days when you didn't know details of your teacher's personal life.

Constitutional Issues?​

The opposition to these efforts is fueled by indignation at what they perceive as the sheer meanness of these bills. But opponents also make a constitutional argument. They contend that muzzling classroom speech of teachers may run afoul of the First Amendment.

When it comes to teachers in public schools, however, this is not a black-and-white issue. Public school teachers have limited First Amendment rights. School districts make the decision on curricula, and teachers must follow it. Therefore, the argument that the bills are posing unconstitutional limits on public school teachers may not hold up because teachers are already limited in what they can say.

But as Clay Calvert, the director of the Marion B. Brechner First Amendment Project at the University of Florida, told Changing America, the "Don't Say Gay" law could have a "chilling effect." Teachers may be inclined to censor themselves for fear of retribution by parents who might even sue.

Read the bill! Nowhere in it does it say you cannot say gay

Can you remember the last time the truth mattered to a democrat???

I can't.

I turned on FOX (of course!) for the latest headlines and saw the governor of Florida happily signing that law.

The merits or demerits of that law aside, the saddest thing was to see little children who had been brought in to stand around the governor as he signed his name.

It is simply a fact that at least some of those children themselves will grow up to be gay or bisexual.

It was downright cruel to have used little children as props for the signing ceremony.

It is simply a fact that at least some of those children themselves will grow up to be gay or bisexual.

Not if the parents in the room actually act like parents and tell their children that it "isnt" okay to be gay or bisexual, but normal, like many other children. It is the failure of the progressive parent to be the adults in the room, so the child who throws a tantrum always gets their way. This is what happens when you allow mentally ill people (Democrats) to procreate....

Nicely done. Children need to be protected from the cultists.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

This funny thing about gays... they keep existing even if you don't want them to.

So do pedophiles.

It doesn't mean that we should pander to them.

That's about how old they are when they figure out how to bypass whatever "parental protections" they put on the internet. Seems like they might have a few questions about what they encounter in the sick sad world of internet porn.

You are using a 2000's standard for current parents, more parents today are far more tech savvy, and most kids today only know how to use tablets, which are far easier to parent lock.

 

[martybegan]

Seriously...

Like kids don't know how to use the internet...

How many use desktops or even laptops anymore? Phones and Tablets are far easier to parent lock.

Get Bark parental control software, kids can't bypass it

Teachers?

Watch what comes out of their mouths?

Whoever heard of such a crazy idea.

Florida is a terrible state full of racists and misogyists and vax deniers and mosquitos and alligators.


STAY THE FUCK OUT. ITS NO PLACE FOR THE CULT.
