House committee in Florida passes 'Don't Say Gay' bill

[j brown's body]

Story at a glance

• A House committee in Florida on Thursday passed a bill which aims to ban discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools.
• The bill would bar educators from talking about LGBTQ+ topics that are not “age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.” An identical bill has also been introduced in Florida’s state Senate.
• According to a recent report from the Trevor Project, LGBTQ+ youth who learned about LGBTQ+ people or issues in school had 23 percent lower odds of reporting a suicide attempt in the last year than those who did not.

Telling people what they can't say or teach? What happened to personal freedoms?

I seem to remember this Amendment that said, “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech…”

I thought the Dems were all about science? Grade school is not the arena to teach kids about sexual concepts that go against basic proven human biology. You know, like "Man has penis, woman has vagina", and all that. Kids who find they are attracted to the same sex should never be ostracized or looked down upon. they should be able to pursue any relationship they want and love whoever they want, but in school, no students should be taught any concepts whatsoever that homosexuality is in any way biologically normal. The parents of those kids should be the ones dealing with that kind of situation.

When you dropped that clanger, your whole position became "Don't teach the kids that they shouldn't treat "Those People" any differently than they treat "Real People", let their parents fill their heads with counter-factual crap so that the kids think that it's OK to treat "Those People" as if they were evil.

See above.

Do you remember Dick and Jane? That's a long time sexual concept. Gay people exist. Deal with it.

Mind elaborating on that a bit?

No I didnt.

 

[Court Jester]

Sound like a good bill. Americans are getting wise to the motivations behind CRT and the sexualizing education of age inappropriate students. It is to alienate these kids from their parents; to make them into young revolutionaries for "the cause".

You're right. I missed it.

Do you remember reading this?

"Kids who find they are attracted to the same sex should never be ostracized or looked down upon. they should be able to pursue any relationship they want and love whoever they want"

Lol deleted "her" post. You can hardly determine who is male or female on this board, or any board for that matter, by their usernames lol. My username is a reference to my favorite band.

The public schools system has become a breeding ground for radical activists who are more concerned with indoctrination than education.

Didn't mean to strike a nerve.

The left destroyed them but that isn't the topic here. The governor is well within his authority to implement educational standards.

What’s harmful with talking about being gay?

Your side profile page on your posts say--Male.

Remember how I said I missed his post? Slow your roll.

My point wasn't over you calling him she or that the post was gone (missed). It was him assuming you said "she" because his user name is Iron Maiden. So yeah, my roll is slow.

Lol, to the left not indoctrinating kids with illustrated pornographic material is fascism. Keep running on that.
