Here are the facts about three claims regarding the controversial Florida bill that has generated considerable discussion about LGBTQ+ students.

The Florida Department of Education told PolitiFact that sexual orientation and gender identity are not included in the curriculum taught in the state’s kindergarten through third-grade classrooms.

"The public was not made aware that the bill only prohibited discussions of sex and gender from KINDERGARTEN through THIRD GRADE," Drew Hastings, an American author and comedian,."Other than a predatory, grooming pedophile leftist, I can’t think of anyone who would have a problem with that." "Anytime a law is vague there’s going to be litigation," Jane Windsor, a Florida attorney who specializes in education law, told PolitiFact."They did not draft it well, so it could be clearly understood past the third grade."have said that this may leave school districts susceptible to legal action from parents with varying definitions of what they consider appropriate for their children.

"What age appropriate or developmentally appropriate really means remains to be seen," Calvert said."It definitely is a possibility that they could go above the first part of the language which caps the restriction at third."People on Facebook and Twitter have said that Florida Republicans want to ban the word"gay" in school.
