The newly signed law seeks to 'stigmatize, silence, and erase LGBTQ people in Florida's public schools,' according to the federal lawsuit.
DeSantis spokesperson Taryn Fenske described the lawsuit as “a political Hail-Mary to undermine parental rights in Florida.”
The legislation also requires public schools to inform parents of changes in a student’s “mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being,” and allows parents to sue school districts if they believe schools or their employees have violated the law. Fenske said the governor’s office will defend the legality of “parents to protect their young children from sexual content” in schools. However,already requires teachers who address “human sexuality” to provide age-appropriate instruction and material. Efforts to reduce the scope of the new, controversial law, so that it would apply only to instruction about sexuality or sex acts, were shot down multiple times in the state legislature.for arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement in schools.
