This is the genesis of the “thought police”. Do not think it is such.

...the article says:

"The Parental Rights in Education Act, passed last year and known by critics as “Don’t Say Gay,” prohibits educators from teaching about gender and sexual identity in kindergarten through third grade"

So educators can't teach where the "Boys" & "Girls" restrooms are & can't tell their students which one to use? This Act basically says kids can use the opposite-sex bathrooms & teachers can't stop them because that would be teaching about gender, right?

They wanted this because they voted for Republicans in large numbers. The Republicans in Florida didn't make any of their plans secret.

I usually take the opportunity, when a GQP does something abhorrent to say something to them on twitter but he has removed himself.
