Supporters of the legislation say it's meant to allow parents to determine when and in what way to introduce LGBTQ topics to their children. It reads, 'Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.' The bill, which some opponents have called 'Don't Say Gay,' was signed by DeSantis on Monday. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, signed the controversial 'Parental Rights in Education' bill. Public school teachers in Florida are banned from holding classroom instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity after Florida's Gov. 24, signed a bill into law Monday that restricts the education of LGBTQ topics in the state's public schools.
