Education Department Threatens Florida Over ‘Hateful’ School LGBTQ Bill
“The Department of Education has made clear that all schools receiving federal funding must follow federal civil rights law, including Title IX’s protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity,” he continued. “We stand with our LGBTQ+ students in Florida and across the country, and urge Florida leaders to make sure all their students are protected and supported.”
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ press secretary Christina Pushaw told The Daily Wire Tuesday that she recommended Cardona read the bill before commenting on it.
“The bill does not single out any sexual orientation or gender identity – it applies to ALL discussion of sex and gender in grades VPK-3,” the governor’s spokeswoman said. “The idea that it’s inappropriate to instruct 7-year-olds about sexual topics should not be controversial in the least.”
“Children should never be sexualized,” Pushaw added. “They are far too young to be learning about these topics in school. If a young child has any questions about sexuality or gender, it’s solely up to that child’s parent or guardian how they want to answer those questions. This is not an LGBT issue, and most Floridians – gay or straight – are fully in favor of child safeguarding and parents’ rights.”
Critics have most notably taken issue with HB 1557’s statement that “classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”
‘Mean And Petty’: Psaki Says FL Surgeon General ‘Peddling Conspiracy Theories.’ DeSantis Spox Hits Back
“Absolutely not,” she answered. “Let me just note that we know the science, we know the data and what works and what is the most — what the most effective steps are in protecting people of a range of ages from hospitalization and even death.”
“The FDA and CDC have already weighed in in the safety — on the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines for those five and older,” she continued. “The recommendations are vetted transparently through a process for — with a purpose so that parents can have confidence, after consulting with their pediatricians or doctors if they would like, about the safety. But we also know through the data that unvaccinated teenagers are three times as likely to be hospitalized if they get COVID than vaccinated teenagers.”
I look with great skepticisim at ANYONE claiming to have all of the FACTS and Data on their side
Science is NEVER Settled
DeSantis Continues His Mastery Over Corrupt Mainstream Media
Most recently, the flying monkeys in the mainstream media have been hysterical and misrepresenting the “Parental Rights in Education” bill in Florida. Megan covers both the bill and the lunatic leftist reaction to it in great detail in this post.
On Monday, a reporter was stupid enough to take the thoroughly biased route with DeSantis when questioning him about the bill.
Put mildly, it didn’t go well for the reporter. Athena covered the story for us:
It is not only important for Republican officials and candidates to take their cues from DeSantis and continually push back against false media narratives, but consumers of news can learn from him too. The MSM hacks lie about everything so we need to question everything. That’s why I never relent. They spent four years trying to derail Trump’s presidency with nothing but false narratives.

The Federal Government is doing exactly what the LGBTQ agenda wants them to do.
They are recruiting children for their perverted activities.
Hitler knew and used the fact that getting children in their early years and educate them in his sick Socialist programs was the way to enhance his power. That is what the queers and the Federal Government is doing.
And that is what any teacher who pushes Critical race theory and transgender and queer policies in our schools are doing for the federal Government. It is already unsafe for young girls to go to the bathroom while some fruit is there in his dress.

Not long ago, my daughter brought home a piece of paper which also coincided with email detailing that they would be covering sex education in her health class. They needed my say-so to proceed with her. She's twelve soon to be thirteen. She already knows most of what they teach her although at twelve she's still a little repulsed by it.
I don't know who on Earth thinks it's important to teach small children about sexuality unless they're either delusional or don't have young children. At 3 and 4, they're just getting used to the shock that they have a hole behind them that leads INSIDE their body. They still think elimination is funny and they learn to imitate anything their teachers tell them.
I'm glad there are people sane enough to realize that while you can easily teach small children that people with a different color is ok, teaching them about sex at 5 is totally inappropriate.
Again, if someone thinks otherwise, I have to think they've either brought up some very strange kids or have never had them.

‘How Do They Possibly Explain Lining Their Pockets With The Relationship From The Communist Party Of China’
Disney has been criticized for its relationship with Communist China.
“So here’s what I can tell you: In the state of Florida, we are not going to allow them to inject transgenderism into kindergarten,” DeSantis began in a video obtained by Fox News Digital. “First-graders shouldn’t have woke gender ideology imposed in their curriculums, and that is what we’re standing for, because we’re standing for the kids and we’re standing for the parents. And I can tell you this: The chance that I am going to back down from my commitment to students and back down from my commitment to parents’ rights simply because of fraudulent media narratives or pressure from woke corporations; the chances of that are zero.”
“And when you have companies that have made a fortune off being family-friendly and catering to families and young kids, they should understand that parents of young kids do not want this injected into their kids’ kindergarten classroom,” he warned. “They do not want their first-graders to go and be told that they can choose an opposite gender. That is not appropriate for those kids. So if you’re family-friendly, understand that parents who are actually raising families want to have their rights respected.”
DeSantis Warns the Left Could Bring Back COVID Restrictions
According to DeSantis, if leftist politicians are reelected in November, they will bring back COVID restrictions. The only reason they won’t do so now is that these restrictions are unpopular, and they’d need to wait until after the midterms to make their move.
“The minute those elections are over, they will impose mandates if they feel the need to do that. They will impose restrictions,” DeSantis said. “And so that will happen if those types of people are allowed to be put in power.”
DeSantis commented that Dr. Fauci has been put “in the witness protection program,” because he will say, “you should still wear a mask, and he’s never going to say be normal, go back to normal.”
“So they know that, and they know that that’s not what people want.”
So here’s how it started. Somebody “anonymously” reported that the University of Florida was involved in a vast right-wing conspiracy to fraudulently falsify the state’s Covid data in order to make Governor DeSantis look good, or spread misinformation, or kill grandma, or something. They were a little fuzzy on the details.
Anyway, a cartoonish marxist front-group at UF called the “UF Faculty Senate” somehow — “somehow” — got hold of the “anonymous” allegations and liberally reprinted them in Soviet-style reports excreted from its ironically-named “Ad Hoc Committee on Academic Freedom.” Who cares if it’s true! It’s PROBABLY true! And it advances the narrative!
So UF had to start an investigation, which was immediately derailed when, as the Herald reports, “the UF staffers who made the accusation refused to cooperate with the investigation.” So the investigation was off to a terrible start and it already seemed super sketchy and just like the communists, if you ask me. They like to eat the dinner but always scurry away on their insectile legs when it comes time to pay the bill.
“When the anonymous complaint occurred, it wasn’t clear what the problem was,” UF Vice President for Research David Norton said. “Without testimony the committee couldn’t zero in on what [the allegation] would be ... We would have benefited if those persons would have come forward to explain specifically what instances caused them to feel that way.”
Let me translate that for you. Norton is saying, delicately, that the anonymous staffers were located and asked to explain HOW the University was supposedly hiding or falsifying the Covid data, at which point they clammed up. Without knowing HOW the University was supposed to be hiding Covid data, it was hard to figure out exactly where to start looking.
The Herald reported, again generically, that “UF investigators concluded that the allegations made in December 2021 likely stemmed from a state health department official who expressed concerns in October 2020 about the university’s use and management of Florida’s COVID-19 data.”
So. Now we can put the whole story together. Here’s what happened: some idiot on the Faculty Senate read one of Rebekah Jones’ deranged tweets and “reported it” to the “Ad Hoc Committee” which started parroting it IN PRINT as revealed wisdom. Marxists so love their committees. And remember, these are the same loony people teaching our kids even though they aren’t qualified to run a boiled peanut stand, much less hold overpaid tenured academic positions. Somebody PLEASE figure out how to demarxify the universities. Or let’s create a parallel system. Something.
And, to you dummies on the Ad Hoc Committee: You realize you’ll be the first ones up against the wall if the marxists ever actually get control, right? PLEASE try to think. I know it’s hard. Just TRY.

Here's What the Social Media Censors Are Doing About the 'Don't Say Gay' Lies Regarding Florida's Anti-Groomer Bill
In fact, they are bending over backward to promote the “Don’t say gay” disinformation about Florida’s common-sense Parental Rights in Education bill, which should really be named the “anti-groomer” bill, based on the unhinged reactions of leftists. For those who haven’t actually read the bill, the word “gay” is not mentioned once. It simply bans explicit discussions about sex and gender in classrooms with very young children—something that anyone who isn’t a pervert agrees with.
That hasn’t stopped the left from weeping and gnashing their teeth and lying about what the bill really says. More than anything, the “don’t say gay” theater has revealed the utter depravity of those on the left who want to indoctrinate young children into an ideology that not only violates the religious beliefs of families and the rights of parents to discuss sensitive topics on their own terms but can also cause great harm to children.
The intrepid social-media fact-checkers at Facebook and Twitter, who waste no time banning individuals who go against the left-wing narrative, don’t seem to have a problem with the liars who want kindergarten-aged children to obsess about sex and gender-bending lies.

DeSantis is on the right side of this issue.
Leave the kids alone in Kindergarten through grade 3.
In fact in my mind this crap doesn't need to be taught in any grade right through High School.
I am 79 now, it wasn't taught when I went to school and my generation hasn't turned out so badly.
They can call it an anti-gay bill if they like , but what the queers (Their term lgbtQ) wants is teachers recruiting for them.. The real problem is that teachers are perfectly willing to do so. History repeats itself. Sodom is returning.

Joe Rogan Blasts False ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Narrative, Tells Teachers ‘That’s Not Your Job’
“They’re calling this the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law in Florida with kids,” Rogan explained. “They’re pretending … they’re saying ‘don’t say gay,’ so everybody’s saying ‘gay, gay, gay, I’m gonna say gay cause I support gay people, and gay rights, and gay this and gay that.’”
“But that’s not what the law is,” he added. “What the law does say is that from first grade to third grade, you can’t bring up gender transition, sexual orientation, whether people are gay or straight. They say don’t teach that in class. That’s it. That’s the law — which seems reasonable. You don’t want an unknown person who’s a teacher, a stranger, talking to your child who’s six about sexual transitioning and gender transitioning and sexual orientation and gay people and bisexual people and non-binary people.”
“Like hey, hey, hey, that f***ing kid needs to learn how to read and write and count, and know history, and normal s***,” Rogan continued. “They don’t need to know about trans kids and — that’s not for you teach. That’s not your job. That’s a delicate issue to be handled by parents and loved ones. And so, people are freaking out and they’re calling it the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill. But that’s not what the bill is. But if you say ‘don’t say gay,’ people freak out, ‘Oh, Florida’s just so homophobic. And they’re so backwards.’ That’s not what it says.”
Biden’s Afraid To Openly Advocate For ‘Transgenderism In Kindergarten,’ Fabricates ‘A False Narrative’ Instead
“President Biden knows full well that the law Governor DeSantis signed today will protect parents’ rights and ensure young children in grades K-3 are not exposed to inappropriate sexual content or gender ideology in the classroom,” she said. “Biden and other Democrat politicians understand that most sane people, including their own voters, support these common-sense protections.”
But Democrats — and the Biden administration — are afraid to openly support radically progressive stances under such a national spotlight, Pushaw suggested.
“Democrats do not want to openly advocate for transgenderism in kindergarten, so they have to fabricate a false narrative about the law instead,” she said. “Why doesn’t Biden just say what he believes: that it’s good to instruct young children about changing their gender, while hiding it from their parents?”
