DeSantis' ban on LGBTQ discussions in schools

As the start of the school year approaches in Florida, teachers are grappling with a new law governing discussions around sexual orientation and gender identity in their classrooms — with one school district advising teachers in same-sex relationships to avoid talking about their partners all together, the Washington Post reported.

Orange County Public Schools told teachers in same-sex relationships that they can have photos of their partner in their classrooms but shouldn't talk about them, the Post reported.

Discussions about a teacher's same-sex partner "could be deemed classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity," district spokesman Michael Ollendorff told the Post.

This new guidance comes as a result of the state's controversial Parental Rights in Education Act, which went into effect on July 1 after being signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in March. Critics have called the act the "Don't Say Gay" bill.

1. So I'm assuming we're getting rid of anything gender related, yes?

2. Yet I read here that some schools are openly encouraging teachers to discuss

Religion with children..🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️.

We need to continue to push back on this no longer slow creep of religious types pushing their views onto the rest of society in their attempt to create a theocracy.

Are current events allowed? I remember current events homework.
