How Floridas Dont Say Gay law regulates school lessons on gender, sexual orientation

Ana Ceballos, The Miami Herald:

Sure.

You know, this is a very concise bill. It is a seven-page bill. But it has divided not only Floridians, but people across the country, because there's different perceptions about what this bill would actually do.

But what this bill actually does is, it, in essence, regulates school lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation from kindergarten through third grade or in higher grades approximate if they are not age-appropriate, according to state standards that are going to be written and clarified by the Florida Department of Education by next June.

The Department of Education is led by someone who DeSantis will appoint or the governor will appoint, whoever gets elected in November. And so this bill has been very divisive because a lot of people think that, because it's so broadly written and a lot of it has to be clarified and defined, could target specifically LGBT students and how teachers and trusted adults in classrooms can communicate about certain topics.
