Gay! Gay!\u201d on Monday throughout the state\u2019s capitol building.<\/p>\n<p>The chant was in response to what critics are calling the \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay Bill\u201d being pushed by Florida Republicans. The Daily Wire reported last week, the title of that bill is officially known as the Parental Rights in Education bill, but the Left has argued it bans teachers and school kids from even mentioning the word \u201cgay\u201d in public schools all.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, The Daily Wire\u2019s Matt Walsh \u2014 an LGBTQ best selling author \u2014 pointed out that assessment could not be further from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/protesters-crowd-floridas-capitol-building-chant-f-desantis-over-parental-rights-bill\">reported<\/a> that critics of the proposal claim it would harm LGBTQ students by preventing discussion on LGBT sex and gender topics, making them feel unwelcome, and possibly creating an environment of harm at home.<\/p>\n<p>But as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/02\/24\/1082969036\/florida-house-passes-controversial-measure-dubbed-the-dont-say-gay-bill-by-criti\">pointed<\/a> out by NPR, what the bill actually does is prohibit instruction on LGBTQ topics for kindergarten through third-graders, provides parents more transparency by requiring schools to notify them of any change in mental, physical, or emotional well being, and allows schools to opt-out of that if there is a \u201creasonable\u201d fear that notifying a parent would result in abuse:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The legislation prohibits any instruction about sexuality or gender between kindergarten and third grade \u201cor in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It would also guarantee parents access to their children\u2019s education and health records and require that schools notify parents \u201cif there is a change in the student\u2019s services or monitoring related to the student\u2019s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being and the school\u2019s ability to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for the student.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Schools could withhold information from parents if they believed that disclosing it could result in abuse, abandonment or neglect.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After passing Florida\u2019s House last month, the senate is now expected to vote on the bill in the near future.

Nothing like it exists. Not at all. Not remotely. What does exist is legislation preventing teachers from sexually indoctrinating pre-schoolers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo weird that the text of the \u2018don\u2019t say gay bill\u2019 doesn\u2019t mention the word \u2018gay\u2019 at all, anywhere,\u201d Walsh added. \u201cHow can it prohibit the use of a word without specifying which word?
