They should call it "the right to be a kid" act. " Hey teacher leave them kids alone"..Pink Floyd
Why are you pedos so upset about keeping children, children. They will ask, and decide when they are ready. It's the parents choice, not your pedophile party's.
These media propagandist are dangerous liars! the bill simply states that you are not allowed to talk about gender transition and sexual orientation in a classromm setting with 5 to 8 year olds??? how can anybody be against that? these people are crazy!
Why can't we sign a bill that says if you can't say anything NICE don't say anything at all. And while I'm at it… spank that "rear end" if it needs it.
the news anchor sounded weirdly condescending towards the florida correspondent giving the report..
DeSantis 2024
Total disinformation. This bill is about at what age and who should be talking to very young people about sexual practices. It's totally appreciate and most parents would agree and it is their right and choice. If politicians don't understand that then they need to sit down and go home. Stop politicizing other people's children to promote unrelated self-interests. Hope and pray for everyone to see the light and do the right things for everyone not just themselves. My opinion
DeNazi tactics
The fact is Ron DeSantis is a complete failure, Florida is exploding with COVID like never before all the while he talks about freedom while his own citizens are getting very sick and filling hospitals all over Florida and dying!Everyone already must be vaccinated against Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Varicella, Chicken Pox, and Hepatitis B, in ALL 50 States but politicians and right-wing media have politicized COVID and people are dying because if it! It's people like DeSantis who are keeping this pandemic alive and going all of which could lead to an even deadlier variant of COVID!Ronny is playing politics with people's lives and they are dying because of it!
This is what leftists bring about when they try to ram their radical beliefs down everybody's throats. The left respects nobody that believes differently than them and then they cry like babies when the right seeks to stop them
LGBT+ should have absolute control over the rising and education of children! They only wanted to just get married lol!
Fill yer boots, Ron.
You'll be dead by summer.
I am a diabetic and I cannot get food to eat desantic don,thavemoneu to buy food and you took my food snap from poor people
This stupid SOB makes it sound like every child in school are confused about their sexuality.
So sick of this racist governor!!!!
Can’t wait to VOTE DeSATAN OUT!!!!
This is guy needs to go
Yes we don’t want happy, enthusiastic people in today’s society 😒
This is really getting out of hand. The GOB is focused on this crap instaead of accually helping the US recover from covid, but no they want to just destroy peoples rights and then point the finger at Biden.
Can it get anymore Orwellian around here?…It wont make it past the first court challenge
Democrats ha ha Ha ha ha yea
I can’t wait for the whole state to sink under the ocean
There is a so-called social media fora for all of these topics. If not allowed to discuss in schools, then go to the internet.
That is right. The bible is very clear.
Running Floridians out of Florida! Unbelievable how we are being run out of our own state! Desantis is a complete mess! WTH?
Ah yes.. the party of small government.
The state of Florida is so trash.
I Hope it passes 🙏
It's like the GOP is in self destruct mode.
Riot
I guess if you don't say it, it doesn't exist?? Is that the way things work in Republican land? What is wrong with these people?
Talk to your kids about the birds and the bees, the flowers and the trees.
Poeple just gone use another word like they already do. How about calling you a Cookie!!! We gone ban that??….Then after that we need ban any other soft word in the english language. You people funny. You don't pick gender the laws of nature does. My 11 yr old son still laughing…
Good, we need a bill like this to fight against this filth.
I want everyone to see peace (￣ ▽ ￣) 👍✨💕
May the ducks heal you (￣ ▽ ￣) ✨👍🦆
Please spread it to everyone (￣ ▽ ￣) ✨✌️✨
Yes! GOD BLEDD DESANTIS
Classic DeSantis. He doesn’t want to have teachers say “ you don’t have to pick your gender yet”?? Are Republicans that stupid that they think teachers actually say that to kids in school?? Please Ron give us one example of that ever having happened in a Florida classroom.
This is bills a good thing. Lgbtq sjw. Not having laws like this allow for abuse by others. This is people wanting a say in their kids education. Not just letting people brain wash kids without consiquence. The ones who don't want the bill don't want parents to have a say in raising their kids. They want to control everyone.
Shoutout to amir Locke. He fought the law and the law won
DeSantis sure likes using school children for political fodder. Republican definition of less government and freedom of choice means more more laws telling people what they can't do. Hypocrisy 101!
Okay, so I definitely don't want to teach in Florida 🙁
Pass voters rights first then I might be impressed.
Say NO to Republican Ron DeSantis!
