Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a highly controversial bill Monday that expands parental education rights and bans classroom instruction of gender ideology and sexual orientation.
The governor signed the Parental Rights in Education Act at a signing ceremony and press conference. The bill has been dubbed the"Don't Say Gay" bill by Democratic politicians and liberal activists, who claim the bill will damage the well-being of gay students."In Florida, we not only know that parents have a right to be involved, we insist that parents have a right to be involved," DeSantis said at the press conference.
In his press conference Monday, DeSantis accused opponents of the bill of"sloganeering" and pushing"fake narratives" and said most of them had not read the text of the bill.During his remarks, the governor repeatedly invoked the story of January and Jeffrey Littlejohn, a Tallahassee couple that sued their local school district for secretly orchestrating their daughter's transition to a male identity at school.
