Do you believe in free speech?

The issue I see could easily be one of beliefs.

If there's a child of devout Christians in a classroom, it's a safe bet (well, maybe) that the child's parents would not want their child learning about homosexuality in the classroom. If there's a 6 year old kid whose parents raise him in the Christian faith, it's absolutely appropriate that they would have a problem with that.

Additionally, I would question the suitability for your run-of-the-mill public school teacher to discuss such topics. Let's face it, teaching children about homosexuality is a hot-button item and, if it's allowed, it needs to be done by teachers who are not only prepared to teach the curriculum, but who are also prepared to wrestle with the inevitable difficult questions which will arise. When I think back on the teachers I had in elementary school and high school, I can't think of a single one who I could see teaching this type of subject matter.

It should be done in the home. Period. If it comes to light in the classroom that Sarah has two Moms, if little Johnny has questions about that he should be asking his parents, not someone who will have no vested interest in the child once they move on to the next grade...

Parents have different views/opinions. Some might even refuse to discuss with their children or tell them that "homos" are wicked and are destroying this country.

And, as abhorrent as that might be, that's their right. The state should be permitted to do nothing to undermine that right...

Yes, that is exactly what the "anti-woke" law is about. The "don't say gay" law was about teaching sexual topics.

The anti-woke law was because DeSantis is afraid the delicate little white children might be offended to learn the U. S. had black slaves.

yes about teaching sexual topics to minors, not about "don't say gay".

Lie.

The 'Woke' mentality has nothing to do with slavery.

Not teaching a child about homosexuality isn't child abuse...

I see that you do not realize the potential of child abuse.

For example:

"Hey daddy! I just made a friend with Joe. He's so nice and friendly!"
"That faggot???!? Are you a faggot? Stay the fuck away from him! You'll catch the fag."

You are describing yourself again.
Obviously, you have never read the Constitution of the United States. Allow me to quote the section disputed:

1st Amendment said:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The 1st Amendment does not apply to the State of Florida. It applies only to Congress, and by extension, the federal government, since Congress is the only body authorized to create law.

I'm sorry you grew up with such an oppressive father.

No wonder you're so fucked in the head...
