Florida expands ‘Don’t Say Gay’ education ban to all grades

Al Jazeera  

Ban in US state bars classroom discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation through high school. The Florida Board of Education has approved a ban on classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in all grades, expanding the law critics call “Don’t Say Gay” at the request of Governor Ron DeSantis as he gears up for an expected presidential run in the United States. The rule change would ban lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity from grades 4 through 12, unless required by existing state standards or as part of reproductive health instruction that students can choose not to take. The DeSantis administration put forward the proposal last month as part of the Republican’s aggressive conservative agenda, with the governor leaning heavily into cultural divides ahead of his looming White House candidacy. The prohibition, which began last year with the law banning sexual orientation and gender identity lessons in kindergarten through third grade, has drawn intense backlash from critics who argue it marginalises LGBTQ+ people and has vague terms that result in self-censorship from teachers.
