Rutherford said he wants to bring back corporal punishment and said behavior from disabled students, in particular, is 'out of control.'
For example, he said, an LGBTQ student group in Collier County gave teachers a sticker to put on their doors with a rainbow that says"safe zone." One teacher, he said, refused to put it up.
"Queer students in Florida, especially those of color and those who are trans and nonbinary, are being cruelly targeted by extremists," said GLSEN executive director Melanie Willingham-Jaggers. "They are facing a hostile climate amid curriculum censorship laws and have been repeatedly subject to political attacks. Florida's students deserve so much better from the adult politicians who are supposed to support them.
In short, while religious texts like the Bible are allowed in public schools for the purpose of studying, what is not allowed is devotion orRutherford said he wants to see"textbooks that are free from bias, censorship and rewritten history," as well as"morals and ethics in school." Rutherford was also eager to see a civics class reinstated in the curriculum, where students would study the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, per Gov. Ron DeSantis' recent policy.
