English lit is going to be hard to do given how horny some historical writers were. Or is instruction of hetero relationships fine but gay ones not? History is going to be tough as well. Can we not mention that James Madison had a wife, First Lady Dolly Madison, who had her slaves save many national treasures because that instructs on both gender identity and sexual orientation?

Or is instruction of hetero relationships fine but gay ones not?
I, for one, am sick and tired of heterosexuals grooming our children because of their straight agenda.
Absolutely! The amount of heterosexual indoctrination that occurs in our society is absurd. The straight agenda must be stopped! Can someone speak to a manager??
The entire purpose of this law is to define being anything but straight and cis as "sexual" in order to diminish these groups as part of an overall genocidal campaign against queer.
The criticisms you are making have been made since before it was even proposed. But the enforcement was ALWAYS intended to groom children to only know and believe in "traditional" values.
That's part of why the complaints sort of have to flow from parents in these rules; they trust the open-minded types aren't going to report Mrs. Johnson for talking about having a husband, but they know the Moms for Liberty folks are their loyal foot-soldiers and will be out with torches and pitchforks the moment Mr. O reveals he has a husband.
The long view of these laws is to continuously criminalize any kind of identity other than the tribe of straight white christian conservatives. Continue pushing the overton window over, a little bit at a time, until all ideas of civil tolerance and acceptance are dead.
That's literally the opposite of how it should be. No one needs to know Mrs. Nancy's sexual orientation, but they do need to be taught to respect others, regardless of their orientation. God Florida and Alabama doth protest too much
Florida, I mean . . . Hats off, you took a bill that was positively insane out of the gate and made it weirder!
Imagine what y’all could do if you worked for good!
Anyway. Stay there - don’t . . . don’t go anywhere.
Wow, it's been years I've heard "don't say gay"... and as per usual:
gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay gay
"We're just talking here, there's no actual instruction going on."
It's going to be a wild ride for sex ed teachers. I imagine them seeding affirmations to lgbt students before they "officially start" their classes
