Do you remember how angry the corporate news media was with Governor Ron DeSantis when he signed a Parental Rights bill into law? DeSantis didn’t want LGBY activists imposing their views on children in Florida schools. The corporate news media were MAD! They mocked the bill as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. But the bill didn’t say that. It actually just banned grooming children.
So, there was a big legal battle over it, and DeSantis won.
This was reported by The Blaze:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) ratified House Bill 1557 in March 2022, making the Parental Rights in Education Act the law of the land despite sustained opposition and mischaracterizations by woke corporations, the liberal media, and radical leftists in the Biden administration.
After the bill’s passage, critics’ hopes centered on a legal challenge brought against Florida by a band of LGBT activists keen on nullifying the law. The challengers’ desperate two-year effort to scale back parental rights and ensure that sexualizing propaganda could thrive in the classroom did not ultimately have the impact they likely hoped for.
The DeSantis administration and the LGBT challengers filed a settlement Monday, bringing the legal battle to an end.
[…]”We fought hard to ensure this law couldn’t be maligned in court, as it was in the public arena by the media and large corporate actors,” stated Ryan Newman, general counsel for the DeSantis administration. “We are victorious, and Florida’s classrooms will remain a safe place under the Parental Rights in Education Act.”
Do you know what’s better than people who just talk about things that they would like to do? People who do the things that they would like to do. And even better: when people who do things fight and win against people who want to destroy their good work.
According to the Governor’s official web site, the law:
- Prohibits classroom instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity in K–3 classrooms, and after 3rd grade, these conversations need to be age-appropriate.
- Ensures that at the beginning of every school year, parents will be notified about healthcare services offered at the school, with the right to decline any service offered.
- Ensures that whenever a questionnaire or health screening is given to K–3 students, parents receive it first and provide permission for the school to administer the questionnaire or health screening to their child.
That’s the law of the land in Florida, now.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could have a president who stands up for conservatives, passes intelligent laws, defends those laws from the secular left in court, and then WINS. Of course it would.
