To empower parents, Florida Republicans would put children in danger. If passed, their Parental Rights in Education legislation, known more commonly as the “don’t say gay” bills, would prevent public-school districts from “encouraging classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity,” CBS News reports. A proposed amendment would have required educators to report a child’s disclosure about their gender identity or sexual orientation to parents within six weeks.

The right insists that what’s good for parents is good for kids. This is not necessarily the truth, as any queer person can say in return.

That is an odd train of logic but the concept of what is good for the parents is good for the kids is a fundumental truth. Don't try to sperate us from our children.

I remember way back when my teachers talked to me about sex.

They said, “See that pretty girl? That’s the devil with a blue dress on.”

If only I had listened, I could have saved considerable money on lawyers.

LOL, they say that like it is a bad thing.

People who want to talk to children about sex are perverts.

Better to spend educational minutes discussing sexual orientation and/or gender identity than learning how to read, write and compute.

Me too!

Most children and many adults can’t use nominative and objective case pronouns correctly and these morons want us to deal with 26 genders (is that the latest count?), made up pronouns and every sexual perversion imaginable?

[EastTexasTraveler]

Oh yeah, we can’t dare let parents raise their own kids. Go Florida!

[Little Ray]

And this why ‘queers’ need to be stuffed back in the closet and the door nailed shut.
We shouldn’t destroy the welfare of children to accommodate the perverted and mentally ill.

Agree. Adults in schools with children and teenagers have no business talking to them about sex. Schools should be reading, writing and arithmetic, along with shop and history. Perverts should be fired.
