Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill originally passed the state legislature on March 8, in a 22-17 vote. Officially called the “Parental Rights in Education” bill, the law forbids teachers from any “classroom instruction” about sexual orientation or gender identity to students from kindergarten through third grade.
Defenders of the bill, like DeSantis, have tried to push back on the “Don’t Say Gay” label, insisting that the bill doesn’t directly ban the word “gay” from the classroom. “When you actually look at the bill, and it says ‘no sexual instruction to kids pre-K through three,’ how many parents want their kids to have transgenderism or something injected into classroom instruction?” he said at a press conference on March 5.
