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.
None of this is true. The legislation is really an anti-grooming bill meant to protect young children from coercive leftist theories on gender and sex. 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.
Like most legislation, the bill has flaws. Some of its verbiage, for example, is vague and doesn’t adequately describe how certain situations should be handled, which means a lot of the details will have to be fleshed out in court. But the purpose of the bill, to keep wokeism and crazed sexual teachings away from children 5 to 8 years old, is one we should all support, especially since this kind of nonsense has already infiltrated the education system.
Here’s an example:

Shockingly, these are just the PG-rated examples. Many leftists can and will go much further if given the chance. One group of activists, for example, hosted a sex education summer camp for children last year in Kentucky called the “Sexy Sex Ed” camp, which featured workshops on “gender exploration,” “BDSM,” “being a sex worker,” “self-managed abortions,” and “sexual activity while using licit and illicit drugs.” One of the camp’s organizers, Tanya Turner, has bragged about working with school systems and said she tries to find ways to include her “curriculum” in the classroom setting. Presumably, this “curriculum” includes her belief that children of all ages, including toddlers, should be encouraged to masturbate.
A different group plans to host a similar sex education camp for third-through-fifth graders this summer in Indianapolis. The program will be run by Ashley Robertson, an LGBT activist who calls herself an “inclusive sexuality educator” and wants to teach elementary schoolers how to use condoms.
“Are YOU comfortable with condoms? What is the only way to get comfortable with the unknown? Exposure. Practice. Opportunities. Pushing out of your comfort zone. Kids are no different,” she said in a Nov. 8 Instagram post. “Have your kids have the opportunity to explore condoms? It takes many repetitions before kids master knowledge. This means they should have MANY exposures to condoms, why we need to use condoms, and how to use them. Make it fun! Take the pressure off.”
The point of all of this is to show that laws like the one being proposed in Florida are not overreactive or irrelevant but necessary. There are people out there, like Robertson and Turner, whose primary goal is to indoctrinate and sexualize young children, and they view the classroom as the perfect place to do both. Florida’s bill would make sure they’re allowed nowhere near it. Is that really something Democrats want to oppose?
