The law, while controversial, also covers the rights of parents to know if their child is potentially transgender.
“It was fear-mongering,”Although Florida public schools never had any official curriculum about gender and sexuality in kindergarten through third grade, the writers of the bill say theyevidence of it seeping into classrooms. They pointed to Palm Beach County School District’s Guidelines for Curriculum, where teachers are urged to “include affirmative topics about LGBTQ+ persons in curriculum and classroom discussions.
Norma Schwartz, a mom of two and vice president of education at Miami Dade County Council Parent Teachers Association, insists the law has left teachers confused and cautious. “The vagueness has made educators feel they’re just better off wiping the slate clean . . . so they’re not the person who gets the school district in trouble.”
“It does seem that a lot of that has been clarified and put into perspective,” FEA president Andrew Spar told The Post. Andrew Spar says school districts are bracing for an inevitable flood of legal challenges by beefing up their litigation budgets. “School districts . . . [are] going to be investigating a lot more complaints from parents, he said.”
