So five year olds, six year olds, seven year olds \u2014 and the idea that you wouldn\u2019t be honest about that and tell people what it actually says, it\u2019s why people don\u2019t trust people like you because you peddle false narratives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Several people began to clap and cheer as DeSantis continued, \u201cSo we disabuse you of those narratives \u2014 and we\u2019re going to make sure that parents are able to send their kid to kindergarten without having some of this stuff injected into their school curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill in question, as The Daily Wire\u2019s own Matt Walsh pointed out, not only does not tell anyone \u201cdon\u2019t say gay,\u201d it doesn\u2019t even include the word \u201cgay\u201d anywhere in the legislation.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/florida-democrats-chant-gay-to-protest-a-bill-that-doesnt-ban-anybody-from-saying-gay\/\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cJust so you know, there is no bill in Florida forbidding students or teachers from saying the word \u2018gay,\u2019\u201d Walsh tweeted. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t exist. Nothing like it exists. Not at all. Not remotely. What does exist is legislation preventing teachers from sexually indoctrinating pre-schoolers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\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? Well because this is all a bunch of bullsh** invented by the Left.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHere is the so-called \u2018don\u2019t say gay\u2019 bill. All it requires is that teachers don\u2019t discuss sexual orientation and gender identity with children in third grade and younger,\u201d he added.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Left is so determined to sexually indoctrinate your kids that they\u2019re treating this like the apocalypse,\u201d Walsh warned.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Jon Schweppe,\u00a0Director of Policy at the American Principles Project, explained,\u00a0\u201cThis bill doesn\u2019t do anything the Left claims \u2014 kids can talk about their families, even if they\u2019re LGBT. Classroom discussions can still take place about LGBT history. But this bill tries to provide boundaries, prevent unwanted indoctrination, and give parents more control over the upbringing of their kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
