A Washington Post fact-check ruled on White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s claim that the Florida education law prevents gay teachers from showing family photos.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that the expansion of Florida's "dystopian" education law prevents gay teachers from showing their spouses.
"Teachers in Florida have already faced the devastating consequences of the existing law. Under threat of having their licenses revoked, gay teachers have been forced to take down pictures of their spouses from their desks and censor their classroom materials. Censoring our classes is not how public education is supposed to work in a free country.
Kessler noted that the claim was"in dispute" and that readers"believed that to be incorrect." However, he argued that it was a"complicated issue" and only rated the claim two out of four Pinocchios following stories from Florida teachers such as Gracie Lindquist and Adarius Payne. Though both Lindquist and Payne faced investigations regarding parental complaints over discussing or displaying images of their significant others, neither one lost their licenses. Kessler explained that following a legal filing from the LGBTQ rightsWashington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler gave Jean-Pierre's claim"Two Pinocchios."
