So again, it's odd that they singled out sexual orientation discussion as being off limits (aka don't say gay) while leaving sexual discussion as an option.

Yeah his take is bigoted. It bothers people like him more than it bothers the kids. The adults/parents, like in most schools, are the problem.You know that's a silly take. They don't NEED to know. But is it OK if they know? Or ist that just too traumatizing for them?
Sounds like dumbass school boards not the law, direct your ire appropriatelyIf this is what schools need to do to be compliant with this shit law, it's disgusting.
Teachers in Orange County, Florida are being told to scrape rainbow stickers off doors and windows, take photos of their families off their desks if they have a same-sex spouse, and are being directed to report if a student comes out as LGBTQ, as Governor Ron DeSantis' "Don't Say Gay" law goes into effect July 1, according to a teachers' organization.
Attorneys for the district held meetings with administrators last week, and "advised principals what behaviors would and would not be legal under the law during a 'Camp Legal' presentation," ABC affiliate WFTV reports.
The Orange County Teachers' Association (CTA) says teachers are also being told they cannot wear rainbows on their clothing, "including lanyards distributed by the district last year." Elementary school teachers are also being told to not even discuss their families if they have a same-sex spouse.

But how will we parents be able to put our kids in conversion therapy and exorcise the gayness if they only come out to their teachers and classmates?I'm a parent and one of the things that bothers me the most is the fact that, apparently, teachers are REQUIRED to notify parents if kids come out to them. Most people understand that there are many people kids feel more comfortable discussing certain things with other than their parents. And that's when their is a good relationship in the home.
Kids develop special relationships with their peers and teachers that just aren't the same as what they have with parents. And those relationships are incredibly valuable.
Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit.Sounds like dumbass school boards not the law, direct your ire appropriately
Why is it ok for them to know? If they are in a grocery store and see their teacher holding hands with their same sex partner, that is one thing. If on the other hand the teacher mentions it during a class discussion or even a private discussion with students or a student, that is wrong. That would be done purely to influence those students, to deny that is simply hogwash.You know that's a silly take. They don't NEED to know. But is it OK if they know?

You’re ridiculous. You think LGBTQ folks spend their days thinking about how to convert people.Why is it ok for them to know?

Damn you lefties are gonna be all effed up over that...But how will we parents be able to put our kids in conversion therapy and exorcise the gayness if they only come out to their teachers and classmates?

Stop the groomer nonsense. Good grief.
The problem are teachers who have an unjustified view of their own worth. You were hired to teach a class, that is all. I guess it makes some feel better about themselves if they can influence the viewpoints of immature children.Yeah his take is bigoted. It bothers people like him more than it bothers the kids.

You have, once again, shown you know nothing whatsoever about teaching and working with our nation’s kids. You haven’t the first damn clue so STFU and learn. All of your ignorance about education in one little post.The problem are teachers who have an unjustified view of their own worth. You were hired to teach a class, that is all.

Were they out of the closet? Times are different. There wasn’t gay marriage back then. There is now. Why does DeSantis have a problem with gay people having pictures of their families on their desks or wall? Or is that only for straight people?Who here had at least one gay teacher and we all knew it?
My seventh grade teacher was a lesbian but we didn’t realize it until we were all in high school and by then we all knew that our 11th grade English teacher and our 12th grade Pre-cal teacher a were “queer” couple. This was in the 60’s...by the way they were all OUTSTANDING teachers.
Their sexuality was not in the classroom. Ever. It wasn’t relevant. Neither was the sexuality of our heterosexual teachers.
Why is it now?
Why are you rolling your eyes? Abby’s the one who made the ridiculous statement that the only reason anyone would mention being gay is to influence children.
You have been hired to teach my child a defined educational curriculum involving reading, vocabulary, early mathematical concepts and basic science. At a primary school level.Elaborate.

Are we talking K-3 or Sex Ed/Health? I think a good bit of that curriculum is usually focused on reproductive information (Hey y’all this is how humans make babies) rather than how or why we pick our sexual partners.
Maybe a subject for 10th grade Biology rather than middle school health?
I wouldn’t be opposed to it in a high school setting.
Hmm. Teacher Tightrope Walking for sure.Shouldn't be but it's not banned. They even rejected a proposal to broaden the bill's language to ban all sexual discussion in K-3 vs just banning anything to do with sexual orientation.
I agree that sexual discussion has no place in K-3 but strangely they allow it.
We are discussing the bill which bans discussion of sexual orientation in grades K-3. The "don't say gay" bill.

Period.
As a parent that’s all I require of you. It’s MY job to do the rest.
There is no such bill...😉
Meanwhile Evangelical / Catholic Churches will continue to see their numbers decline, especially with the youngest generations and wonder why.
That’s no longer the job. I know you can’t stand me but the ONLY time I have discussed anything remotely political was when I DEFENDED the kid wearing Trump socks. I wouldn’t be able to work where I work if I talked politics. It’s a very red area. The most MAGA parents I have like me because their 3 kids love me…why? Because I take interest in their lives and don’t just teach them about throwing and catching. If you really taught you should know teaching is as much about building relationships with kids as it is throwing material at them. Certainly in this day and age when we have to bend over backwards to make sure kids, despite all the obstacles in front of them, learn the things we want them to know.You have been hired to teach my child a defined educational curriculum involving reading, vocabulary, early mathematical concepts and basic science.

So a teacher who has a same-sex photo of them and their partner should have to be hidden out of view?Your posts have become more and more desperately dumb.
I have worked for over 35 years and I don't believe I have ever discussed my religion, sexuality, political bent or any other very personal trait to anyone unless we were really close and likely already knew.
I’m in favor of zero pictures of spouse/family. I would be okay with dog pics though. 😊So a teacher who has a same-sex photo of them and their partner should have to be hidden out of view?
Maybe we can outfit the teachers with shock collars bluetoothed to a device that measures for forbidden use of phrases?
FIFYThe problem is people like me, who have no idea what they’re talking about
But why? I have to take down pictures of my wife and kids so it’s equitable that gay people can’t have theirs’ up? Do you realize how messed up that is??I’m in favor of zero pictures of spouse/family. I would be okay with dog pics though. 😊
And you say I have a “ferocious intellect”?
You’re an idiot.
Okay, but if they have family pictures and some are of same-sex partners should they be forced to take them down? I do agree with dog pics.I’m in favor of zero pictures of spouse/family. I would be okay with dog pics though. 😊
