"Florida legislators have advanced a parental rights bill that critics say could have a chilling effect on discussing sexuality or gender orientation in schools while opening up districts to litigation. A legislative panel voted 15-5 Thursday to recommend House Bill 1557, the Parental Rights in Education bill directs school districts to "not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students." The bill would give parents the right to take legal action against schools that violate it and be awarded attorney's fees. "It's not the job of the school district to raise the child; it's the job of the parent on these extremely sensitive conversations," Harding told the committee.
But Jon Harris Maurer, public policy director of LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Florida, said "Conversations about us aren't something dangerous that should be banned -- That's deeply prejudicial." State Representative Anna V. Eskamani, D-Orlando, asked Harding about various scenarios that could come up in classrooms; What would happen in scenarios where a child's LGBTQ parents come up in class? He said the bill doesn't seek to police every conversation."
Now I know how much Conservatives hate cancel culture; but there are situations where canceling certain things is a good thing...this is one....There is no need for kids to have any type of discussions about gays and trannies in elementary schools...let kids be kids....and I know the authors of this bill doesn't want people to think we are trying to police everything that happens in a classroom -- but if a kid does bring up his gay parents in class; that kid needs to be told to not ever bring them up again..All that does is confuses the other kids with real parents....
As someone else said, schools are not the place for teaching kids stuff like this -- kids do not need to ever learn about the mental psychosis it takes to be a fag or a tranny -- morality is to be taught by the parents, not the school...This is why God should have never been taken out of schools -- we wouldn't have so many trannies and fags now if we left God in the classroom...
