On Wednesday, DeSantis’ administration moved to forbid classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in all grades, expanding the controversial Parental Rights in Education Act critics call “Don’t Say Gay.”
According to the Associated Press, the proposal, which would not require legislative approval, is scheduled for a vote next month before the state Board of Education and has been put forth by state Education Department, both of which are led by appointees of the governor.
