It isn't.
That's what people think it is, and that's why it has a high level of support. But the law as written and passed is quite different than that.

The one captures what the bill is actually designed to do. The other is an inflammatory slur without basis in fact.
There is no comparison.

Sure ... only we've now seen an increase in teachers and administrators telling kids not to tell their parents about things being discussed in the classroom.
Teacher Tells Students Not To Tell Their Parents About Their ‘Equity Survey’
Why would a teacher insert themselves between the relationship of a parent and their child?
Sign Telling Identity-Confused Kids 'I'm Your Mom Now' Sparks Controversy
A sign telling high school students that if their parents aren't accepting of their identity, "I'm Your Mom Now," has angered parents in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Texas school orders teachers to avoid telling parents about kids' trans, non-binary status: Report | Blaze Media
A Texas school district is reportedly instructing its teachers not to "out" transgender or non-binary students to their parents. What are the details? According to training documents obtained by the Daily Caller, administrators at Round Rock Independent School District are teaching educators to...

And of course, the whole reason this has become a public cause in the first place is because parents spent the last two pandemic years eavesdropping on their children's schooling through zoom and, in some instances, were shocked to hear what they did.
So now the legislature has stepped in and said you can't teach it (K through 3rd) and you can't hide it from parents.

I think it's safe to say Disney would have absolutely no interest in Texas after this Florida issue.

During the late 1990s and early 2000s, there seemed to be a ton of chatter about a Disney resort somewhere in the middle of the triangle formed by Dallas, San Antonio and Houston. I was convinced it was coming. It never materialized.@Andrew C your travel time to WDW May get a lot shorter if this happens

This "Judge" is really the county commissioner or executive (we just call them "judges" in Texas). Fort Bend County is the county immediately to the west of Harris County (which is where Houston is located).

I can't imagine the mental gymnastics it would require to equate being called homophobic with labeling me as a child groomer because I might mention my husband to my students. Absolutely insane.

You are preaching to the choir. I have an unofficial rule that I won’t go to Houston between May 1 and Oct 1 for work but I’ve had to break it several times. The only thing that saved me was staying at a hotel where I could get to the office through the tunnels so I didn’t need to step outside where I would instantly be coated in sweat.

I'm amazed how many people fall for the 'zoom exposed me to what they were doing' talking point Such a horrible narrative people created.
Parents that couldn't be bothered to know what is going on now suddenly are willing to goto war to stop what is happening in the classroom? comical
What zoom really did was show most parents they didn't do crap with their kids schooling until they were forced to play teacher's aid and they hated it.
And all these cites of issues tend to come from crazy skewed 'news' sites.. aren't researched and magically don't cite issues in Florida. But Florida needed the law.
People don't shouldn't fear CRT.. they need to fear lack of critical thinking skills. Boogymen are just a tiktok away these days.

Texas is a solid red state but they are still pretty pro-business. Nothing close to this has happened there to my knowledge.

There are so many reasons why Disney should stay away from Texas.

I know about a 15 block radius in downtown Houston. I’ve been there, the ride from the airport and to NRG Stadium several times for the rodeo so I can’t really say I know the area well.

4 PM in Houston, it's 100+ degrees every day from the beginning of June to the end of August. We had a Six Flags here for years (Astroworld) that was popular, that had a ton of outdoor components. And there are still Six Flags parks in San Antonio and Dallas. But I'd have to believe if they ever did build a park in this area, they'd have to have almost every aspect of the park able to be transversed indoors. And all of the queues would have to be entirely indoors.

4.2 Billion impact to business in a two week period to put on a performative show? Not better than Florida and that is a very low bar

Nothing that's one to one, but Greg Abbott did just cause hundreds of millions in losses to the produce industry due to a short-term angry border policy that was nothing more than political theater.
I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable going there if I was Disney.

I would assume that you take issue with being called a child groomer because it isn't true, and you consider it to be an affront on your character. Conservatives take issue with being called homophobic because, in virtually all cases, it isn't true and is an affront on our character.
I hope you enjoyed my insane gymnastics routine.
