Florida House Bill 1557, a parental rights education bill dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by critics, has become a subject of contention in the state.
What is Florida House Bill 1557?
Republican Rep. Joe Harding, who sponsored the measure, last month described meeting a server at a restaurant who was visibly upset, who told him about how her fourth-grade daughter was being bullied at school. In the bill’s early stages, Harding filed an amendment that would have effectively required a school to inform parents if a student came out as LGBTQ to a teacher, renewing condemnation of the measure. Harding withdrew the amendment as it picked up attention in media and online, according to the Associated Press.
"We’re going to make sure that parents are able to send their kid to kindergarten without some of this stuff injected into their school curriculum," the governor said Monday.What critics say and why they’ve dubbed it ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill
