Poll shows majority of Americans support the so-called 'Don't Say Gay' part of Florida's Parental Rights in Education bill

As with anything the Left, and therefore the media and the teachers’ unions, supports, you’d walk away from CNN or MSNBC or NPR thinking that Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill was massively unpopular. As we reported, even U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy posted a Twitter thread blasting “Florida’s recent law restricting discussion about gender identity in school” — never mentioning that those restrictions applied to teacher- or staff-led discussions in kindergarten through third grade.

A new Morning Consult/Politico poll, though, shows that most Americans asked if they supported banning the teaching of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade said yes, they did support it. Thirty-seven percent strongly supported the ban, while 23 percent strongly opposed it.

The poll mentioned that “some say that limiting these discussions will protect children from inappropriate classroom topics, while others say it will block important conversations about LGBTQ issues.” Kudos to the pollsters for making the age range clear.

TWEETS

No, it specifically is about teaching this stuff. TWEET

A poll by The Daily Wire showed similar results.

It’s not “Don’t Say Gay,” it’s “Don’t Pedo-Groom our Children.”

Correct everyone you hear using “Don’t Say Gay.”

I’ve read that Christina Pushaw calls HB 1557 the Anti-Grooming Bill on Twitter.

You have to be a depraved freak to be against how the bill protects children and then try to attack it by representing its message. These freaks are why America can’t have nice things.

When they say ‘gay’ you say ‘homo’.

Hey teachers: Shut your mouth and just teach reading, writing, and arithmetic. Leave the values to the parents. They are not your children.

Meanwhile, on Florida via an Upstate NY enemedia outlet...

Governor DeSantis says surgeon general 'blackballed' over new vaccine guidelines for kids

Nothing specific in the article, though, on the retaliation.

It is a Commie catch-phrase that polled well among their own.

I don’t know why letter people would be surprised that normal people have had it up to here with them.

There is something wrong with the mindset of one in four Americans. This does not bode well for the country.

My only objection to this bill is that it only goes through 3rd grade.

It should go through 12th grade. No more sex ed in public schools - FULL STOP.
