Florida Gov. DeSantis is moving to forbid classroom instruction on gender identity in all grades, expanding the controversial law critics call “Don’t Say Gay” as he continues to focus on cultural issues ahead of his expected presidential run.
The proposal, which would not require legislative approval, is scheduled for a vote next month before the State Board of Education and has been put forward by the State Education Department, both of which are led by appointees of the governor.
Spokespeople for the governor’s office and the Education Department did not immediately return an emailed request for comment. DeSantis and other Republicans have repeatedly said the measure is reasonable and that parents, not teachers, should be broaching subjects of sexual orientation and gender identity with their children.
At the governor’s request, the Republican-dominated Legislature voted to dissolve a self-governing district controlled by Walt Disney World over its properties in Florida, and eventually gave DeSantis control of the board. The move was widely seen as a punishment for the company opposing the law. The board oversees municipal services in Disney’s theme park properties and was instrumental in the company’s decision to build near Orlando in the 1960s.
