Awesome. This will be can’t miss TV. Watching those bozos outdo each other pretending moral indignation over the gov while they decide to follow state law or not.
Florida is handling it right and it’s giving all the usual suspects the vapors.
Liberal crap
One word: Indoctrination .
They are trying to normalize deviant behavior and taboo.
If teachers were indoctrinating students, then they’d actually be doing their homework. Maybe follow the simple directions like “sit down” and “stop talking.”
Why are adults in a child-centric, captive audience, compulsory industry so obsessed with children’s sexual feelings, in school? That’s very suspicious.
They are sick people. Sick and Bullies.
Teachers didn’t make it sexualized. Law makers did.
Teachers simply wanted to read a book to kids that had a story where a child had two moms or two dads so those kids felt included in things, and not made to feel weird or be bullied because their family doesn’t look like the “normal” family.
In effect, the governor and the legislature has acted as though transgender people don’t exist – it is a fact that they do, including those with chromosomal anomalies – but by golly if they do, no one can acknowledge or talk about it. This is governing and educating by the ostrich method.
So that explains the southern border crisis…
An alphabet guide. Hint; just follow state law, like you swore to do.
Virtually every controversial act by the state government – i.e., what DeSantis touts as his qualifications to be Prez – is under challenge in the courts, so the “state law” is not settled.
And even if those laws survive those challenges, you’ll do just as Ward, his cronies and the County Commission is doing…whining.
Will the State Attorney follow through if these idiots violate the law? Will the Governor need to remove him too? I will never understand the concept that you are elected and sworn to follow the law but then turn around and say I will violate it. Florida and the true citizens of Alachua County need to take the stand against the infiltration of D.C.
Can’t wait to get my copy of the new LBGTQ2 guide. I’ll use it to light my BBQ grill.
