Does Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education” law — aka the “Don’t Say Gay” law — violate First Amendment, due-process and equal-protection rights?To paraphrase a bunch of unhappy Floridians: Abso-eff-ing-lutely.
Now they’d like a federal judge to halt school districts from enforcing the law, which prohibits teachers from discussing gender identity or sexual orientation in grades K-3, and bans any such discussions deemed “age-inappropriate” for older students as well.Related: 16 states just turned to Ron DeSantis and said “GAY GAY GAY”On Friday, a group of Florida teens and their families, along with LGBTQ advocacy groups, requested a preliminary injunction, arguing their constitutional rights are bing violated.
The move marks a new chapter in the fight against the law, challenging school districts rather than the DeSantis administration.
