What is it with Republican legislatures that they think gender identity and sexual orientation has any place in school? Florida passed legislation that prevents it K-3rd grade, like the legislation Wyoming is trying to pass, yet it can be taught in 4th grade and beyond.
This is a weak effort by any Republican legislature. Where are parents? IMO it is the parents responsibility to teach sexual orientation or gender nonsense not the schools and gender identity and sexual orientation have no place in school including high school let elementary school. This garbage was never brought up in school when I was a kid even in “sex” ed or biology.
Ok rant off.
should say “let alone elementary school” ranting and typing can be hazardous ugh.
Sen. Rubio calls for immediate cancelation of visit by Cuban officials to U.S. Coast Guard base

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio urged President Joe Biden on Friday to “immediately” cancel a trip by members of the Cuban Border Guard and diplomats from the island to visit the U.S. Coast Guard headquarters in Washington and tour port facilities in North Carolina next week.
In a letter sent Friday, the Florida senator highlighted that the Cuban Border Guard, which acts as the country’s coast guard, is part of Cuba’s Ministry of the Interior, which is under U.S. sanctions for human-rights violations.
Rubio, a senior member of the Senate’s Foreign Affairs committee and vice chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, also suggested the delegation might include Cuban spies.
“There is also a high likelihood that the delegation will include members of Cuba’s intelligence agencies,” he wrote, adding that the invitation “to Cuban intelligence operatives into sensitive national security facilities in order to share with them our nation’s coastal and maritime security protocols is an egregious dereliction of duty that betrays one of the most fundamental tenets of the oath you have sworn, to protect America from foreign enemies.
“You must cancel this visit immediately, and explain to the American people how this was allowed to happen on your watch,” he added.
Rubio said Congress was notified that the visit had been planned by the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department. A State Department spokesperson told the Miami Herald: “We have nothing to confirm at this time.”
The Biden administration resumed migration talks and law enforcement cooperation dialogues with Cuba, prompted by the largest mass migration event from the island in several decades. While most of the more than 300,000 Cubans who came to the United States in 2022 crossed the border with Mexico, the U.S. Coast Guard also had to respond to a dramatic increase of Cuban migrants trying to reach South Florida shores.
