the woketard liberals are likely to sue the first FL school system they can find that has any materials that refer to girls and boys, have pictures of girls and boys. No siree - the law clearly says everything has to be androgynous!!!!!

I just hope they go ahead and do it first thing in the fall, before the election.

One man's boycott is another man's letting the market decide.

Organized boycotts do often produce the opposite of the desired result though because the publicity generated draws support out from the other side.

The "omg teaching 5 year olds about SEX" line that has become prominent is so rooted in fear and ignorance that it jumps right over the truth and slides into home base into conspiracy theory.
Teachers shouldn't be answering that question.

Maybe it's a stepmom, foster mom, aunt that's acting as a guardian, etc.

WTH would a teacher EVER talk about another child's family as part of "classroom instruction"? Is the teacher an authority on every family structure of every child in the classroom? Making lesson plans that invade kids and family privacy?

Do you realize what an idiotic idea that is?

Everyone else understands it just fine. The law is logical and makes sense.

If as an ADULT you are freaking out because you feel your SEXUAL FREEDOM is violated when teachers can't talk about sex with 5 year olds...

Seek help. Immediately. It's needed.
Agreed.

I personally feel there was not a need for the bill in Florida since Sex ed under grade 5 in Florida was already banned but I am not opposed to it. My big issue with the bill is the portion that allows civil suits against teachers directly as a method to deter, opens the door to constant litigation. Perhaps I am averse to giving people new areas of litigation to pursue because of the number of Ambulance chasers we have in Florida and my experience in healthcare.

Having said that, I don't understand most of the reasons given as pushback against the bill. It's way over the top and most complaints are not even relevant to the bill itself, it's adults complaining about other adults, nothing to do with 5,6,7-year-olds.

I would have no complaints if the litigation portion was cut out. Hopefully it won't result in 100 lawsuits for silly stuff like a Rainbow sticker on a door. But this is Florida so I expect the worse and work back from there.

If it doesn't happen, then why do you care if there's a law against it?

Default Disney and the Temporary Victory Tax propaganda film

Getting back to Disney, it has long been engaged in under-handed activities including the production of propaganda. Keep in mind Disney was very much behind conning working people during WWII to start paying a federal and unconstitutional direct and un-apportioned tax on the property they earn by the sweat of their labor.

Walt Disney produced a propaganda video to get working people to surrender their right to not be taxed by the federal government directly, unless the tax was apportioned as commanded by our Constitution. The video promoted what was called the "Temporary Victory Tax" as a patriotic duty, when in fact the Temporary Victory Tax was a clever move by our federal government to get working people accustomed to paying a tax they were not subject to, and then never ending this kind of tax after the war.

Here is the propaganda video:

This law is reasonable.

Democrats more and more are saying child porn is okay and now oppose this law that most of their voters agree with. Democrats picked a supreme court justice who is soft on child porn. Democrats also voted for a president that took showers with his 12 year old daughter that according to her "likely weren't appropriate" and messed her up mentally. A president that on camera sniffs and pinches little girls, telling them they are so pretty. Have to wonder if there are forces within the party high up trying to sexualize children.
It simply reflects how damned bad of a president Trump was that there were enough people who would actually vote for somebody like Biden. I sure couldn't vote for Biden. But years ago I voted for Reagan both times and never regreted it. The country needs to find somebody like that to run for president.

How would you have any clue about my education, corporate experience, or skill set? In my 35 years in the corporate world including significant time in senior management, I've seen a lot of stupid decisions by supposedly smart people and many just follow the herd as is the case with this crap.
