The law requires school districts to adopt procedures that “reinforce the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of their children.” It prohibits classroom instruction – not casual discussion – on “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” with children in third grade or younger, “or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”

It prohibits classroom instruction – not casual discussion – on “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” with children in third grade or younger (that’s 5 to 8 year old kids) 

You know what that means, right? Florida parents found out that schools proggie indoctrination centers had teachers pedophile groomers teaching kindergarten through third grade students about ‘transgenderism’, homosexuality, pornography, and sexual degeneracy in the classroom, and telling the kids not to tell their parents.

and what does Peppermint Psaki have to say about it?

Florida’s parental rights bill is not a ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. It is a full-throated defense of moms and dads against the state-sponsored progressive brainwashing of their kids.

On March 8, Florida’s Republican-controlled state legislature passed the Parental Rights in Education bill.

But you may know it better by the media’s smear name, ‘The Don’t Say Gay Bill.’

It’s a measure that gives parents more control over what their children are taught in public schools.

But that’s not how the White House, Democrats, Hollywood and the media portrayed it.

In fact, they completely mischaracterized it.

President Joe Biden called an early version of the bill ‘hateful.’

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg claimed it will increase suicides among LGBTQ+ youth.

On Tuesday’s episode of ‘Watch What Happens Live’ Bravo host Andy Cohen called the bill’s passage ‘personally disturbing,’ and told Florida Republicans that they’re pretending to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.

‘This is one big dog whistle. You’re scaring people into spewing hate and discrimination at the LGBTQ community,’ he said.

On Wednesday, the White House doubled down again.  Press Secretary Jen Psaki called the bill ‘discriminatory,’ ‘horrific,’ and ‘a form of bullying’ against LGBTQ children and families.

On the eve of the bill’s passage, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (who is now expected to sign the bill into law) confronted a local reporter, who framed the legislation as anti-gay.

‘I want to ask about the Parental Rights in Education, what critics call the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill,’ said Evan Donovan.

DeSantis was having none of it, and snapped, ‘Does it say that in the bill? You are pushing false narratives…’

So does the bill prohibit teachers’ from saying the word ‘gay’?

In a word – no!

The legislative text of the House version of the bill reads, ‘Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.’

It not does ban words or even causal discussion of gender issues.

But it does remove gender and sexual orientation issues from the formal curriculum for five, six and seven-year-olds, and mandates that instruction for older children is age and developmentally appropriate.

The reality is DeSantis, and millions of other parents like him, don’t think it appropriate to talk about sexuality with very young children.

And the bill also does more than that — it prohibits schools from withholding information from parents about their children’s education and mental health, unless notification presents a threat to the child’s safety.

You’d think that’s a given. You’d think wrong.

Education of children in radical gender ideology is taking place in public facilities across the country

Earlier this week, the Heritage Foundation hosted an event titled, ‘How radical gender ideology is taking over public schools and harming kids.’

One of the speakers was Abigail Martinez — a mother of four from California, originally from El Salvador.

The reality is DeSantis, and millions of other parents like him, don’t think it appropriate to talk about sexuality with very young children. (Above) DeSantis speaks during the welcome segment of the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, Florida, U.S. February 26, 2021.

She shared –- for the first time — the utterly heartbreaking story of the suicide of her daughter Yaeli.

According to Martinez, Yaeli was a happy ‘girlie girl’ through her early childhood. She loved singing and dancing and wearing princess dresses.

But in her teenage years, she began to exhibit signs of depression.

Martinez informed the school and sought their help – something she now regrets.

Yaeli allegedly became convinced, thanks in part to school psychologists, that she was a boy.

Yaeli wanted to be called Andrew, which her mother allowed. But the change did not give her daughter the happiness she sought.

After an attempted suicide, Yaeli (now Andrew) ran away.

School officials told social services that Andrew would be ‘better off out of the house’ and she was placed in foster care at 16-years-old, said Martinez.

‘When I went to court, I asked the judge to please let my daughter have a psych evaluation,’ Martinez explained.

The school social worker insisted that she needed to be affirmed as transgender, and so, the judge denied Martinez’s request.

In September of 2019, Yaeli would commit suicide by kneeling in front of an oncoming train.

It was her mother, Abigail, who was left to bury the literal pieces of her daughter and live every day with the loss.

Not the school social worker, not the principal, not the judge, not her teachers.

Tragically Abigail’s story is extreme but not unique.

Also speaking at Heritage was a Florida mom, January Littlejohn, who shared the story of her daughter’s run-in with gender ideology.

January and her husband Jeffrey Littlejohn from Tallahassee, Florida, have filed a suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida in October of last year.

They are seeking to ‘vindicate their fundamental rights to direct the upbringing of their children’ after Deerlake Middle School failed to notify them that their 13-year-old daughter had entered a school-sanctioned gender transition plan without their consent.

This is exactly the kind of situation the Parental Rights in Education bill would prevent.

How could schools possibly think it’s their role to teach this kind of content to children?

It’s very simple: They think that isn’t just their duty, but their right.

The backlash against the Parental Rights in Education Bill is a repeat of the critical race theory debates that first embroiled school boards across the country last year.

Parents were told they had no right to oversight over their children’s curriculum. They weren’t entitled to a say.

During a debate between Terry McAuliffe and Glenn Youngkin in October when both were vying for the governorship of Virginia, Youngkin said to McAuliffe, ‘You believe school systems should tell children what to do. I believe parents should be in charge of their kids’ education.’

In response, McAuliffe said, ‘I don’t think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.’

Youngkin’s message resonated with Virginia parents, and they elected him Governor over the favored Democrat.

The woke assault on childhood innocence in American classrooms is occurring nationwide.

In November in Virginia, parents reasserted their rights to have a say about what their own children were learning in classrooms.

In Florida, lawmakers saw what their constituents wanted. It wasn’t a ‘don’t say gay’ bill, it was a full-throated defense of parent’s rights.

It was a winning political issue in Virginia, and it will play out similarly in elections nationwide.

Parents see the kind of radical ideology progressives are trying to brainwash their children with and those who are willing to stand up against it.
