Florida laws regulating the teaching of gender and sexuality issues in school

mardi 15 mars 2022 à 18:48

A Florida Republican gave a nuanced explanation of new and proposed laws regulating the teaching of gender and sexuality issues in school. If we could count on the law to be followed in that nuanced way, I would have no objection.

Likewise, the law doesn't prohibit students from bringing up these issues, let alone require punishing them, but in practice teachers may punish those students, whether from having a vague idea of the law, from right-wing zeal, or from fear of being punished themselves.
