New Missouri bill takes 'Don't Say Gay' law even further

ABCnews ^ | 2/8/2023 | Kiara Alfonseca, Will McDuffle

[Chgogal]

“ The bill says that “no nurse, counselor, teacher, principal, contracted personnel, or other administrative official at a public or charter school shall discuss gender identity or sexual orientation with a minor student” unless they’re a licensed mental health care provider and have a guardian’s permission.”

Now what is wrong with this? Nothing absolutely nothing.

AS the Juarez taxi driver said to a group of YOUNG men who wanted a tour of the town, but did not want to go visit the Prostitutes....

“YOU QUEERZ-Z-Z! you don like girls, YOU QUEERZ-Z-Z!”

[NetAddicted]

Oy vey! That deliberate opinion shaping slipped right past me, as I simply ignore it.

I'm still waiting for our Idaho to begin leading on this. The legislature and Governor Little are derelict.

Here's the link to the Missouri Senate Bill 134 in the hopper...

Prohibits the discussion of gender identity or sexual orientation by school personnel

Well, if your starting point is that there was a “Don’t say Gay” bill, your foundation is a lie.

Imagine my surprise. Liars lie.

Garbage article from ABC, not journalism, it belongs in the trash bin

Not always the case, but only since liberals took over the education system and created the dept of education.

It's been at least partially indoctrination even before there was a Dept. Of Education.

The idea of public education came from Prussia in the 19th century and one of the primary reasons for it was to teach children their place in society and how to behave in it (and accept it).

In the 1950s there was anti-Communism and "duck and cover" indoctrination. Indoctrination does not have to be bad, but schools have always been about more than the three Rs.

[aligncare]

Ronald Reagan’s wish list when he first ran for president was to rid the federal government of the department of education. Sadly, he was unable to accomplish it and the lofty goal of universal edification quickly became universal indoctrination.

Yes, indeed.

Not forcing perverse sexual themes onto little kids is actually “discrimination” - that’s their narrative. Deliberate misrepresentation.

Prison awaits the perpetrators

[Libloather]

...restricts classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity through kindergarten to grade 3...

So, children get hammered with this crap in the 4th grade? Not good enough.

This bill makes perfect sense. I pray our next president pushes for Congress to make this a national law.

[JimRed]

Don’t say gay. Say HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.

[NetAddicted]

I don’t say gay, except for:
1) I created a keyword gaypedos. In that instance, I’m fine with using gay.
2) I use gay if it is in the headline.

Fake news renamed DeSantis’ Parental Rights in Education bill as the “Don’t say gay” bill or the “so called Don’t say gay bill.” That is BS, as fake news are the only ones calling it that. I created a dontsaygay keyword to keep track of news stories about it.
