Gay rights advocates are suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to block a new law forbidding classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.
A group of parents, students, teachers and LGBTQ advocates are suing to block a new bill that bans certain conversations about sexual orientation and gender identity in classrooms with young students. The bill is scheduled to take effect July 1.– Gay rights advocates sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday to block a new law that forbids classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade.
violates the constitutionally protected rights of free speech, equal protection and due process of students and families.The St. Johns County school board is listed as one of the defendants in the lawsuit, along with school boards in Manatee, Sarasota, Miami-Dade, Jackson counties. The law deliberately employs broad terms and invites arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement, empowering parents to be roving censors who can sue school boards for damages based on any perceived violation, the lawsuit adds.
Many critics have said the law’s language, particularly the phrases “classroom instruction” and “age appropriate,” could be interpreted so broadly that discussion in any grade could trigger lawsuits, creating a classroom atmosphere where teachers would avoid the subjects entirely.
