Florida Republicans have reacted to a measure banning teachers from giving instruction in the classroom for “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” to elementary school children, but similar bills have been introduced and are being considered in other states across the country. On Monday, the governor of Florida. Ron De Santis signed the bill on Parental Rights in Education, which prohibits teachers from giving instruction in the classroom about “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” in kindergarten until the third grade. The measure has been criticized nationally, including by President Biden.

In early March, Georgia lawmakers introduced Senate Bill 613, the Common Humanity in Private Education Act, which is co-sponsored by 10 Republican senators. Declares that “no private or non-public school or program” should “promote, coerce or encourage class discussion on sexual orientation or gender identity at the primary or secondary level in a way that is age-appropriate and the student’s developmental stage “. “No teacher should promote gender identity discussions with young children in a classroom setting, that’s exactly what this bill says and why I support it,” said Georgia Sen. Bert Jones, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. DESNEY SAYS DISNEY “CROSSED THE LINE” FOR THE CRITICISM OF PARENTAL RIGHTS IN THE EDUCATIONAL HOSPITAL In Kansas, House Bill 2662, called the Parents’ Rights and Academic Transparency Act, aims to establish certain rules about sexually explicit material in classrooms. The proposal, introduced in February, calls for an amendment to the state filth law in an effort to make it a Class B offense for teachers to display material depicting acts of “sadomasochistic abuse” or “sexual behavior” that includes homosexuality. The Kansas measure is also funded by the K-12 Parliamentary Committee on Education Budget. Similarly, Republicans in Tennessee introduced House Bill 800. This legislation seeks to prevent the distribution of material or textbooks that “promote, normalize, support, or address lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) lifestyles.” The measure cited the materials as “inappropriate” and said that “promoting LGBT issues and lifestyles in public schools offends a significant portion of Tennessee students, parents and residents with Christian values.” The revelers celebrate on 7th Avenue during the Tampa Pride Parade in the Ybor City neighborhood on March 26, 2022, in Tampa, Florida.

The measure calls on educators to “obtain prior written consent from the parent of a student under the age of eighteen” to discuss “identity”. gender, “” sexual orientation “,” abortion “,” transgender “or” sexual activity. “ CLICK HERE TO RECEIVE THE FOX NEWS APPLICATION In Oklahoma, Senate Bill 1142 and Senate Bill 1654 would prevent libraries and classrooms from providing material that discusses “any form of non-reproductive sex” or “lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender issues.” In Louisiana, House Bill 837, introduced in March, states: “No teacher, school clerk or other presenter will cover sexual orientation or gender identity in any classroom discussion or kindergarten teaching until the eighth grade. “ In addition, Louisiana law states that no teacher, school clerk or presenter should discuss “their own sexual orientation or gender identity with students in kindergarten until the twelfth grade.” Absolutely out of much of the debate around the Florida bill is actual content of the legislation. The bill prohibits teaching in the classroom about “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” with third-graders or younger, “or in a way that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students according to state standards.” Florida Gov.
