I will amend my post slightly by changing "(or soon would be instructing)" to "(or many Floridians believed soon would be instructing)". Apart from whether or not Florida public schools were currently instructing like this, if Floridians (through their elected representatives in the state...

I read the bill. It is not complex and does not use arcane language. Being written in straight-forward language, I am able to understand the bill. Did you consult an expert linguist to understand my post(s) before replying to them? Linguistics: the scientific study of language and its...

Not true. The bill obviously sets limits: limits up through grade 3 only, different limits for grades after that, limit on when a school must provide information to a parent, limits about what topics should wait for later grades, limits the process by which issues under the law must be handled...

It was needed since some Florida public schools were instructing (or soon would be instructing) regarding "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" in kindergarten through third grade and Floridians, through their representatives in the legislature, did not want that to continue (or to start).

The most controversial part of the bill is about not instructing "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" to children 8 years-old and under--not 13 years old as you mentioned.

This is false. The bill clearly incorporates already existing state standards regarding what is age- and developmentally-appropriate. Have you read the bill? You seem to never discuss the bill itself (the text). The bill does NOT target the qualities of a "group" of humans. I explained...

I have not read the entire thread. Someone may have already provided a similar analysis of the bill. But here are the basics of my analysis: The bill primarily does 3 things: (1) Guards parents’ right to know, approve, and access materials at the school regarding various things relating to...

Again, I do not know what thoughts are in that one person's mind. But my objective analysis of the text of the bill stands. It is non-discriminatory and does not violate anyone's rights. Regarding the curriculum, I do not know if the specific content of the curriculum is controlled at the...

The text of the bill targets public school instruction (up through third grade) regarding "sexual orientation" and "gender identity". If "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" (which reference gay/straight and transgender/cisgender) is considered "qualities of humans" (as you say) then I...

I think most of the walkouts will be done during each employee's normal 15-minute breaks allowed during their work shift. Not sure how anyone will know they are walking out if that is the case. There might be one big walkout at the end of the week that does not coincide with break-time. Not...

See my reply to lazyboy97o.

I do not know why that one man makes a distinction. But courts will decide what the law "means" by looking at its text. Even if one of the bill's sponsors is bigoted, that does not mean the bill is bigoted. First, dozens of legislators in both legislative houses voted on the bill (and...

"Breathless coverage" and (especially) "social media outrage" is usually unrelated to facts.

Containing the phrase "sexual orientation or gender identity" in no way causes the bill to target people (presumably you have in mind here LGBTQ people) as opposed to sex or sexuality. Neither "sexual orientation" not "gender identity" refer specifically to LGBTQ. Straight, "cisgender" people...
