Public school teachers in Florida are banned from holding classroom instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity after Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, signed the controversial 'Parental Rights in Education' bill.
The Trevor Project condemned the signing of the bill saying the bill erases"LGBTQ identity, history, and culture — as well as LGBTQ students themselves."
The Trevor Project says these provisions,"appear to undermine LGBTQ support in schools and include vague parental notification requirements, which could effectively require teachers to 'out' LGBTQ students to their legal guardians without their consent, regardless of whether they are supportive." On Monday, a spokesperson said in a statement that the company hopes the law is repealed or struck down in court.
