28 März 2022 Jahr - FL Enacts "Don't Say Gay" Bill

Beschreibung:

The Parental Rights in Education Act, described as the Don't Say Gay act by its opponents, is a Florida state law introduced and passed in 2022 that outlines new statutes for public education, which prohibits "classroom instruction" on sexual orientation or gender identity in "kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards" in public schools and prohibits public schools from restricting parental access to their student's education and health records. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the bill into law on March 28, 2022, which became effective on July 1, 2022.

It has been described as the "Don't Say Gay" act by its opponents who have criticized it for entirely prohibiting education about the LGBT community, LGBT history, LGBT rights, and same-sex marriage in early grades and also restricting such education in a manner that is deemed to be against state standards in all grades. The opponents include students, civil rights organizations, businesses, and the federal government of the United States, including the President of the United States. The Walt Disney Company was vocal in its opposition following pressure from its employees, precipitating in an ongoing feud between Disney and DeSantis, which precipitated in the abolition of the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Massive walkouts were held by students in schools across Florida in opposition to what they described as the "Don't Say Gay" bill, with students chanting "We Say Gay" in response.
