There have been instances of teachers doing this in areas other than Florida, which fortifies the need for such legislation. The defense of the legislation is just as all over the place as the attack on the legislation, and that is a problem due to the media misrepresenting the legislation, and...

"If you can't prove it is happening here, it's not valid" Terrible argument, all it takes is one child to be abused by this legislation to be worthwhile. Also, the legislation doesn't stop people from being gay, so regardless of the author, or sponsors opinions, if the law is fair and just...

Correct, there weren't standards set before the bill passed, and there aren't any now (pertaining specifically to sexual-orientation and gender identity, while there are for sexual education in a general sense). Florida bill 1557 doesn't change this at all and that language doesn't change...

What does this mean in regards to the bill? The bill stops all forms of sexual orientation and gender identity instruction, not just those who are non-hetero. Focusing on this seems disingenuous when the legislation doesn't.

The text of the bill prohibits any at all classroom instruction of "sexual orientation and gender identity" through the grades of k-3, so by the very essence of the language used in the bill it also prohibits heterosexuality from being instructed, after grades k-3 there is nothing in the bill...

They don't. We who have supported the bill don't. We just want to protect children. Take it for what you want, as I know you won't change your mind on the bill, but maybe on the person supporting the bill.

So the forum moderators selectively enforce the rules based on their perception of the discourse. Maybe there are hard rules that only moderators see, but to anyone else who has forum posts removed, it may just feel targeted as they may not have been able to see the reply that another person...

Tom Corless is a popular vlogger/youtuber reporter of Disney who is very well known in the Disney company for being critical of them(rightfully so, imo). It would seem that Disney could easily target him with an elevated experience to help sway him in their favor. He can also write all of this...

That's correct, but there are already rules against teaching sexual education, but it's very vague, and is sort of left up to interpretation by the phrase "age-appropriate". I'm not sure what that means in reference to typical age children learn these things in the public school system these days.

This exactly. When you push ideas out of the social discourse it pushes those people into echo-chambers which often further radicalizes them. This isn't exclusive to one side. We all need to be accepting, but at the same time there are limits to acceptable discourse when it comes to age.

Regarding how Florida previous allowed young children to be taught at an inappropriate age: From my research, there hasn't previously been anything "on the books" in Florida to prevent or enforce teaching of LGBTQ+ forms of sexuality and orientation, but there are guidelines that it should be...

+1 vote for Sanaa, that place is amazing. The vegan options are just as good as the meat options, and their plant-based options aren't the processed "fake meat" items that are just as bad as conventional fast food. I love that place.

Allowing people to sue isn't the problem with the Bill. The problem is the vagueness of it. It should be more specific to prevent frivolous lawsuits. Protecting our children is not up for discussion though, and one good thing that comes out of this is the prevention of radical teachers...

I think the point is no one should feel fear of retaliation for holding an opinion. These people aren't educators teaching our children, they're random everyday people working at Disney. They shouldn't have to fear that just because they don't think like the loud super-minority, that they...

I think based off their comments they would agree with you. as do I, really. Why should LGBTQ+ teaching get a pass when taught to K-3 when most children don't go through Sexual Education until grades 6-8? Doesn't make much sense.

I'm only responding to this part because it's the basis of your argument. You can't really blame anyone for a kindergartner for growing up seeing heterosexuality in their family when it takes a heterosexual relationship to make a child naturally... Also, cartoons and games have come a long way...

Oh.. well that's good news to me. I don't like the new room theming as much as I do the old ones... I wonder why they chose to go with a different room look entirely instead of keeping the current theming.

My wife and I had been thinking about buying into the VGF for quite some time as an addon or resale to our current contract. We do not like the new room style in comparison to the old room style. Is there any news on how the booking of these rooms will take place with regards to the older...

If its within your budget, I would do the Poly for this type of stay, and that's just because you plan on doing 5 of your days at monorail access parks (including park hopping). When my wife and I did park hopping trips, we didn't typically spend the money on higher cost resorts, (we're DVC...

That is essentially what causes me to book the festival. For clarification, when I said the offerings, I was referring to the food booths. This is my favorite festival to go to, as I enjoy all of the other activities. My wife and I typically go during this time and IFWF as well.
