Do we teach calculus at a first grade level? No because kids don’t understand it. The actual bill says primary grade levels which in Florida is K-6. "may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students." The bill does not specify how "age-appropriate" and "developmentally appropriate" would be defined. Nothing like making gay kids, who know at a very young age that something is different about them - and make them feel worse about themselves and threatened. This bill does nothing but encourage bullying. But that’s the whole point of the GQP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if teaching it so young actually brings out more bullying with the kids that don’t understand it so they bully the gay kids?

Hell, in 2020 - Trump lost in Supreme Court arguing that employers could fire someone for being gay. link In a historic decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that the 1964 Civil Rights Act protects gay, lesbian, and transgender employees from discrimination based on sex. The ruling was 6-3, with Justice Neil Gorsuch, President Trump's first appointee to the court, writing the majority opinion. The opinion was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's four liberal justices. "Today," Gorsuch said, "we must decide whether an employer can fire someone simply for being homosexual or transgender. The answer is clear." He found such discrimination is barred by the language in the 1964 law that bans discrimination in employment based on race, religion, national origin or sex. The decision is a huge victory for the LGBTQ community and a major loss for the Trump administration, which had sided with employers in three cases before the court.

I disagree with Trump on that issue, and agree with the court’s ruling that you posted...But I still don’t see how pushing back particular sex education, until the kids are older, is anti gay...can you help explain?

You’re using these kids as pawns Im not advocating it be taught - but the fact that this bill can allow parents to sue schools for even mentioning the topic - even if a student asks an innocent question - is ridiculous. And no - I am not using these kids as PAWNS - that would be you, your death cult and your friends at the NRA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my previous comment above. But what’s next? Forcing conversion therapy? You don’t think kids are already exposed to sensitive topics by watching tv? Play grounds? Asking innocent questions about their gay/lesbian sibling or relative? You think a teacher addressing an innocent child’s question about sexuality - and the teacher saying - I’m sorry we cannot discuss that topic - won’t send the message that there is something wrong with being gay? You do realize most do not CHOOSE to be gay, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
