Too funny...Florida pulled a book..a true story..about a same-sex couple..err..a couple of male penguins that is, who bond together and raise a baby penguin. Apparently, they believe that this true story is somehow 'sexual instruction', according to their new, 'Don't say Gay' law.
In Lake County, for example, the school district has removed three books with alleged LGBTQ themes from libraries. The school district claimed the removal of these books was required "due to content regarding sexual orientation/gender identification prohibited in HB 1557," the Parental Rights in Education Act.
These books do not involve "sexual instruction." One book that was removed, And Tango Makes Three, is the true story of two male Penguins, Roy and Silo, who lived in the Central Park Zoo. The pair build a nest together, and — after the zookeeper provides them with an egg — they raise an adopted child, Tango. There is no sexual content in the book.
"Don't Say Gay": Florida schools purge library books with LGBTQ characters
In March 2022, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed into law the Parental Rights in Education Act, which critics dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill. DeSantis angrily accused the media of promoting a "false narrative," insisting the bill does not prohibit mentioning LGBTQ people in Florida schools.
