I know my kindergarten standards through and through and nowhere in our curriculum does it have anything about teaching sexual orientation or sexual identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should be able to have discussions and that\u2019s what we\u2019re encouraged to do in kindergarten,\u201d he said. \u201cMy kids do have questions. They want to know who my partner is in pictures outside of my classroom, and I should be able to speak to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you worry that you won\u2019t event be able to talk about your own personal home life?\u201d questioned the MSNBC host, noting that she knows all about her children\u2019s teachers and their home lives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely,\u201d he said. \u201cYou are 100% correct. That\u2019s what we do as educators, we build relationships with our kids. And in order to build relationships, you talk about your home life, you talk about what you do on the weekends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cIt scares me that I am not going to be able to have these conversations with my children,\u201d he continued, \u201cbecause they\u2019re going to ask me what I did on the weekend. I don\u2019t want to have to hide that my partner and I went paddle boarding this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The children will ask him, \u201cwhat does partner mean, Mr. Bernaert?\u201d the teacher said, questioning, \u201cCan I tell them what it means?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also worried about a potential situation in which children will ask him about one of his kindergarten students, who he said has two moms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they go to her and ask her about her two moms and she doesn\u2019t know what to say, they\u2019re going to come to me and ask me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Florida\u2019s HB 1447\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/floridas-lgbtq-bill-is-being-wildly-misrepresented-here-are-the-facts\">states<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0\u201cclassroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill has been wildly misrepresented as \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d legislation, though nowhere in the legislation is the word \u201cgay\u201d mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>The word \u201cparent\u201d is mentioned 32 times, the word \u201cparental\u201d is mentioned eight times, and the legislation heavily focuses on parental notification and parental awareness of what children are being taught or exposed to in school.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
