A Florida lawmaker thinks the so-called 'Don't Say Gay' bill doesn't go far enough -- and is pitching
Florida lawmakers will consider a major expansion to the state's controversial gender and education law — which critics have dubbed "Don't Say Gay" — that would target transgender and nonbinary students and ban schools from teaching about gender identity until high school.
The bill, HB 1223, would forbid "classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity" from pre-K through eighth grade, and would expand the restriction to apply to private programs and charter schools.
HB 1223 would also require "every public K-12 educational institution" to acknowledge that "a person's sex is an immutable biological trait and that it is false to ascribe to a person a pronoun that does not correspond to such person's sex."
If passed, the bill would bar teachers from calling students by pronouns that don't align with their sex at birth and students from asking for a teacher to use preferred pronouns. The legislation is among many that have been introduced as the Florida session prepares for its 60-day legislative season that begins March 7.
The bill's creator, GOP state Rep. Adam Anderson, said in a statement to Insider: "The appropriate time and place to have sexual orientation and gender identity conversations is at home between children and their parents, not in the classroom, and not on the public dime."

If Desantis or god forbid Trump, became the nominee, we have to assume that nothing is off the table. The GOP would enact their wildest revenge fantasies and there would be nothing to stop them. 
He's the kind of guy who would declare himself dictator for life and Fox News would love every minute of it. We have to fight back against these shit heads. We can't ignore them or wait for the problem to go away.
