The ACLU of Indiana protests as the House Education committee votes to advance HB 1041, which would ban transgender girls from girls sports teams K-12to restrict discussion of sexual orientation or gender identity in schoolsDuring a legislative conference Friday, an Indiana lawmaker said that a version of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill was being drafted for the upcoming legislative session.
It’s unclear how much support “Don’t Say Gay” style legislation would have among legislative leaders, who struggled to coalesce their members around a position on similar issues last session and have seemed interested in turning attention toward workforce and economy issues after the past summer’s special session to pass a near-total ban on abortion in the state.
The Florida bill, formally titled Parental Rights in Education, was signed into law last spring. The measure bans classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through third grade. "The damage even having the bill introduced will cause to young people is immeasurable," Paulsen said."We will see youth die by suicide because of this. I think it's that dire and I’m sad that lawmakers don’t realize their actions have really bad consequences, even if the bill doesn’t pass."
Nice paywall
Typical left wing “journalism” Florida’s law says nothing of the sort. It does however ban teaching sexual topics and the sexualization of very young children. Which many leftists are in favor of. Also called grooming.
More of that Leftist twisting the context again. It's about keeping LGBTQ indoctrination out of the classroom and parents having control at and from home of what they want taught to their kids at school.
That would be incredibly stupid
There isn’t a “ Don’t Say Gay” Bill in Floridaor anywhere else! That is an abrasive name assigned by woke people
Try using the actual name of the bill. Left wing rag.
In other news, indystar is excited about a fake controversy.
Thats so gay
Yeah that’s not the name of the bill.. local media should try better to caption the story.
