    @I_Need_A_Detox

     As usual, you cherry pick. .

    While the language of the bill highlights the youngest students, all grades are affected by the provision requiring gender and sexuality to be discussed in ways that are “age appropriate or developmentally appropriate.” 

    This statement itself is subjective & will be definitely challenged which is provided in the law

    Lines 129-130; 146-151: If a concern is not resolved by the school district, a parent may …. Bring an action against the school district to obtain a declaratory judgment that the school district procedure or practice violates this paragraph and seek injunctive relief. A court may award damages and shall award reasonable attorney fees and court costs to a parent who receives declaratory or injunctive relief..

    One last thing., DeSantis is such a pandering POS, he officially designated strawberry shortcake as the state's desert to endear him to the strawberry farmers.  But everyone knows that Key Lime Pie is the world renown desert of Florida. Anyone who visits Florida knows this as well.

    The DeSantis administration has more black agency heads than ever in Florida history, because DeSantis always chooses the most qualified candidates without regard to identity politics... and the most qualified candidates for many roles happened to be black men and women.

    Biden did Ketanji Brown Jackson a disservice when he stated he would choose a SCOTUS nominee based on race and gender. He should've just promised to choose the individual who was in his opinion the most qualified candidate, then nominated her.

     

    This is what Democrats don’t understand.

    The MAJORITY of Democratic primary voters (politically active Democrats) in Florida SUPPORT the Parental Rights in Education bill, despite the weeks-long legacy media disinformation campaign.

    This should be a MUCH bigger story.

    DeSantis: 

    “By allowing men to compete in women's sports, the NCAA is destroying opportunities for women, making a mockery of its championships, and perpetuating a fraud.

    In Florida, we reject these lies and recognize Sarasota's Emma Weyant as the best women's swimmer in the 500y freestyle.”

    Don't say gay bill is based on the falsehood that teachers are teaching gender identity and sexual orientation to students from kindergarten to grade 3.  No state curriculum requires such education.  Also critical race theory isn't taught in elementary and secondary schools.  The anti-trans athlete bill targets a virtually non-existent problem.  Under 0.1% of population is transgender.  Everything DeSantis does is based on politics.  Similarly, Trump and Hitler manufacture fake problems, claiming only they can fix them.

    it began as a single phone call from a concerned Florida voter whose party affiliation was switched to Republican w/o her consent. Now there are AG investigations in 3  Florida counties, reports from a 4th, & concerns the entire state may be impacted.

    Yet, not a peep out of DeShitstain.

    How propaganda and media mind control works:

    1.) Someone creates a big lie
    2.) Most major media corporations, tech platforms & pop culture machines push the lie
    3.) Repeat the lie
    4.) People walk around like zombies emotionally charged off a fictional lie

     

    Zombie >> “Don't say GAY??? GAY GAY GAY GAY!”  


    So why are they using their tactics against DeSantis? Because he’s going to be the next President of the US.

    Disney corporate president Karey Burke says, "as the mother of one transgender child and one pansexual child," she supports having "many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories" and wants a minimum of 50 percent of characters to be LGBTQIA and racial minorities.

    David Rubin (gay):

    Ron DeSantis fires back at Disney for opposing the parents rights bill:

    "Corporate executives do not run this state... If we would’ve put in the bill that you are not allowed to discuss the oppression of the Uyghurs in China, Disney would’ve endorsed that in a second.”

    If teachers are not teaching gender identity and sexual orientation from K to 3rd grade why the outrage???

    Ohhhhhhh, you said "no state curriculum requires such education" NOT THAT IT IS NOT BEING TAUGHT. NICE SLIGHT OF HAND!

    Because Florida "has repeatedly, recently, and persistently acted to deny Black Floridians access to the franchise," Walker places the state back under preclearance—requiring federal approval for any future changes to election law. The GOP controlled legislature can no longer change the law at their whim.

    Ron DeSatan illegally delayed a public records request for over 2 months of documents related to Halsey Beshears, who is allegedly connected to the Gaetz sex trafficking investigation, so he could “review” them to “ensure the accuracy and correctness” of it.

    Sounds like review, edit & redact.
