The proposed rule is the latest move by the administration of Republican Governor Ron DeSantis to limit or prohibit instruction on topics conservatives consider inappropriate for the state's classrooms.
Florida is looking to expand its ban on teaching young children about sexual orientation and gender identity issues to include all students in its public schools under a new rule set for a vote by the state Board of Education next month.
Last year, DeSantis signed a Republican-backed measure that banned classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for students in kindergarten through third grade. Critics denounced what they dubbed the “don’t say gay” bill. The proposal drew swift criticism on Wednesday, March 22, from Democrats and LGBTQ+ rights activists, with White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre calling the proposal “completely, utterly, wrong.”
