Florida high school enacts insane new LGBTQ policy and everyone’s thinking the same thing
Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, or the so-called Don’t Say Gay bill, was signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis (above) in March.
It went into effect on July 1 and some public school districts are already rolling out dangerous new policies.Proponents of the bill claimed its purpose was to shield young students from conversations about LGBTQ topics deemed “not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate.” Many argued the sole focus would be to limit early sex education.
Critics condemned the vague language (not to mention the entire premise itself), fearing a door would open for varying interpretations that would directly harm LGBTQ students.Those fears were confirmed when news broke last week that one district was instructing teachers to remove signage indicating a classroom is a “safe space” for LGBTQ students.
They were also told to take down photos of their families if they have a same-sex spouse, remove any rainbow flags or stickers, and “report to parents if a student ‘comes out’ to them.”Now, the Leon County School Board is taking it a step further after passing its deceptively-named LGBTQ Inclusive School Guide.Related: Florida teen goes viral educating history teacher on Stonewall.
