As Floridas Parental Rights in Education law or what critics have dubbed the Dont Say Gay law comes into effect Friday, some of the states public-school districts have begun rolling out new policies to limit LGBTQ issues and identities from being discussed in the classroom.
On Tuesday night, the Leon County School Board unanimously approved its LGBTQ Inclusive School Guide, which includes a provision to alert parents if a student who is open about their gender identity is in their childs physical education class or with them on an overnight school trip.
Upon notification or determination of a student who is open about their gender identity, parents of the affected students will be notified of reasonable accommodation options available, the guidelines read. Parents or students who have concerns about rooming assignments for their students upcoming overnight event based on religious or privacy concerns may request an accommodation.
Representatives of the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association accused school officials Monday of verbally warning educators not to wear rainbow articles of clothing, to remove pictures of their same-sex spouses from their desks and to remove LGBTQ safe space stickers from classroom doors. The districts legal department confirmed in a statement provided to the teachers association that covers the Orlando area that staff who come into contact with students in kindergarten through third grade were cautioned concerning LGBTQ issues.

These really are sick, violent fucks.

(1,962 posts)So LGBTQ's, back to the closet you go. Snowflake Ron the Munchkin can't handle seeing people who aren't straight or cisgender. And, of course, this was the most important thing facing your shithole state in 2022 - Making Florida Cishet Again or whatever..
I also love the total double-standard of "Don't Say Gay." Hide those pictures. No rainbows. Don't say gay... unless you suspect that kid might be trans. Now you have every right to say gay and out them to their parents. And what are "reasonable accommodations"? Solitary confinement? Conversion therapy? Expulsion?
Choke to death on your hate already, DeSatan.
