The rule, proposed in August and approved by Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. in September, is intended to enforce a 2021 state law that forbids instruction on gender identity and sexuality for children in kindergarten through third grade. The measure, the Parental Rights in Education Act, is known by opponents as the “don’t say gay” law.

The Florida Department of Education has done little to publicize its rule on teachers’ licenses. The rule appeared online around the same time that the state was taking damage from Hurricane Ian, which has left more than 100 dead. News of the rule was first reported Tuesday by the newsletter the Progress Report.


The rule states that any teacher who “intentionally provide[s] classroom instruction” to K-3 students on those two topics will face “revocation or suspension of the individual educator’s certificate, or the other penalties as provided by law.”

1. Nothing like making a teacher shortage even worse.

They want those kids to remain uneducated.

2. Maybe its time that public school teachers quit the public school system and establish

their own brand of private schools. I don't know how it is in FL but in Az public school teachers no longer need to be certified. Depending on the individual state law, under a new brand of private schools the state would have no control over what was taught in these brand of private schools.

3. "When did you stop beating your wife?"

What the hell. Have they ever taught little kids? Teachers are just trying to get them to read. But then Youngkin got elected here in Virginia because of “Critical Race Theory,” which is not taught in any public school and school being closed during the pandemic. So that’s all they offer: make up a problem and then run against it.

5. So will the words he and she be forbidden?

After all those words refer to gender and using them might get a teacher in trouble.
