Governor DeSantis Backs The "Don't Say Gay" Bill

[Harpy Eagle]

You're still missing the point,... as usual.

Actually you did, what I said to him is a carry over from a different thread

 

[iceberg]

You don't, but the teacher should not be forbidden from every saying a single word about them. Like it or not, there are a lot of gay people out there and pretending they do not exist will not make them go away

I'm not pretending they don't exist. the bill itself seems to say do not teach it in school. great. don't teach me religion, don't teach me this crap.

focus on the core where our students are so far behind the world.

 

[Mac-7]

Let me guess, gay as fuck? (GG not you. XD)

I dont think he’s gay

but he is very sympathetic to the unfortunates with the genetic birth defect

 

[SassyIrishLass]

It's disturbing the left thinks sexual matters is curriculum

theres more to the bill than the title.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Monday signaled support for a bill moving through the state legislature that would limit discussions of gender identity and sexual orientation in the classroom
.......
where does it literally ban saying GAY?

 

[Slade3200]

Isn't that what this is saying?





Because schools focus too much on this and school should be a place where you learn facts and that everyone is either born a boy or a girl. Not about all the fake nonexistent genders out there.

I disagree. A huge part of school is socialization. It’s where kids learn how to interact with other kids, follow instructions from authority figures and how to be accountable for their actions within society.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Well, as I said to Mr Farnsworth, it does not have to be one extreme or the other. Our country has lost the skill of seeing anything but black and white, all nuance is gone

Fair enough.

I just don't see the value in wasting time on that shit, when our nation is falling behind on important educational topics.

But a teacher should not tell you how to feel about your penis.

That is a very secondary issue, as opposed to the time wasted on topics MANY parents would rather control. Who should be in charge of what side issues find their way into the classroom?

THAT'S RIGHT!!! PARENTS!!!

The headline readers and reactors of the world don't need facts and details. All they need is a headline that confirms their biases and they're off to the races. Sad thing is, apparently they really believe it.

There is nothing wrong with teaching about religions in school. Religion plays a large part in the history of mankind. There is no reason to ignore it.

The same holds true of the fact there are gay people in the world

they don't care. they just want to argue. even if they have to make up why.

True.

Also, how are we supposed to mock you and say "Gaytor" if we can't say "gay."

where does the bill say DON'T SAY GAY?

and if religion and prayer is out of bounds in school, so is this shit.

It shouldn't be out of bounds.

I agree we spend too much time on it, but I would also say there is more toe education than just the 3 Rs. One could argue there is no benefit to humanities classes in high school, I would disagree.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

why? let parents handle this with children. let school teach, not raise.

Such is the hateful, bigoted, neo-fascist authoritarian right.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The local school board should be in charge of what finds it way into the classroom.

 

[Road Runner]

but he is very sympathetic

Yeah, but with all due respect,.. what in the world does sexual orientation have to do with anything you need to learn in school and prepare for in life? Shouldn't parents be the ones to teach their kids this? If Jesus Christ isn't allowed in school then why are drag queens?

But a teacher should not tell you how to feel about your penis.

Totally! All a teacher's job is to tell their students what it is and what it does, not whether or not you're happy with it if you were born with it. Same with girls and their vaginas.

 

[iceberg]

It shouldn't be out of bounds.

But if the people teaching their social stances go out banning religion, it applies to this shit too.

all I am really saying.
