Democrats and their allies in the legacy media are up in arms about a Florida bill that would prohibit instruction on radical gender ideology and inappropriate sexual content in K-3 classrooms. They’ve dubbed it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, even though the text of the bill doesn’t mention the word “gay” once, and argued that it is discriminatory toward the LGBT community.

These topics can still be discussed in the classroom if a student brings them up, according to the bill, but they cannot be taught as fact or pushed on impressionable students who don’t know any better.
