Even if you're actually trying to defend your kid's ears from the scary gays and their eldritch ways, define "Classroom instruction" as "official lesson plans or class curriculum". Bam, now there's no need for teachers to be worried about normal rando kid questions, and people trying to legally enforce their weird hateful bullshit don't have an avenue of abuse.
Personally, I don't want any kind of official sex-ed or.... i dunno, indentity-ed? Included until much, much later. Kids are
ridiculously impressionable at that age and I don't really trust a stranger, however well trained as an educator, to have those discussions with my small children. There's too much room for confusion. But if my 6yo old is like yo, why does Katie have two mommies that pick them up after school, I would want ANYONE to just be able to answer "because she has two mommies that take care of her at home".
This law just accomplishes a deliberate climate of fear through legal ambiguity. No excuse for this.
This statement is entirely useless because it's not happening anyways (and teachers would be fired before it became litigable through this law), but you included it, and the context is fundamentally tied to LGBTQIA existence. One has nothing to do with the other, but now it's in the same conversational sphere.
This. It doesn't serve a purpose in protecting anyone. There wasn't any instruction of that variety going on, so the sole result (and purpose) of a such a law is fear and an avenue of ambiguous punishment.
There was a book banning law also signed in Florida. It is rather insidious in that it requires all the books to be logged and only allows new books after a lengthy review process (which basically means No New Books). It's not just an LGBTQ+ issue, its straight up freezing time.
The fuck? What happens if you get caught with a banned book in Florida, now?
