LIVE: GovRonDeSantis is expected to sign the Parental Rights in Education Act into law during a visit to Classical Preparatory School in Spring Hill. The bill bars instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity for young public-school students.
It is one of the more hotly-contested pieces of legislation drafted this session in Tallahassee. Critics have referred to it as the "Don't Say Gay" bill, adding that it sends "a message of hate" to Floridians. Meanwhile, supporters say it would bolster parental rights.
DeSantis signed HB-1557 from the Classical Preparatory School in Spring Hill. The school describes itself as providing traditional classical and liberal arts education from kindergarten to 12th grade.
