Disney joined the public opposition to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signing the \u201cParental Rights in Education Bill,\u201d which says a \u201cschool district may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels,\u201d and only in an age-appropriate manner in subsequent grades. (Disclosure: The Daily Wire has announced plans for kids entertainment content.)<\/p>\n<p>The Golden\/TIPP poll, completed on April 8, finds that Americans are <a href=\"https:\/\/tippinsights.com\/americans-back-floridas-dont-say-gay-bill-golden-tipp-poll\/\">nearly twice as likely<\/a> to support the law than to oppose it. A total of 57% of Americans agreed with the legislation, while only 31% said they disagreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInterestingly, a majority, irrespective of party affiliations and ideologies, backed the bill, except for liberals,\u201d the pollsters said. Republicans (73%), Democrats (51%), and independents (54%) agreed with the law\u2019s parameters. Self-described \u201cliberals\u201d split, with 42% backing the new law and 53% opposing it.<\/p>\n<p>Some left-of-center personalities have said the new law does not go far enough to protect children from controversial and disputed sexual and gender ideologies in the classroom. \u201cWhen I first heard about Florida\u2019s Parental Rights bill, I was shocked it only protects children K-3,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/shocked-it-only-protects-children-until-third-grade-tulsi-gabbard-reacts-to-florida-parental-rights-law\">said<\/a> former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), a 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful. \u201cThird grade? How about 12th grade \u2014 or not at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Golden\/TIPP poll shows public acceptance of the law increasing since mid-March, when 50% of Americans publicly said they opposed teaching K-3 children about sexual and gender identity in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/f\/?id=0000017f-9034-d137-abff-f0f410670000\">Politico\/Morning Consult poll<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It also confirms a survey performed by Lucid on behalf of The Daily Wire and released in March, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/exclusive-poll-over-60-of-americans-back-floridas-limits-on-k-3-lessons-on-sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity\">found 64% of Americans support<\/a> the Florida child protection legislation \u2014 including 62% of Democrats and 57% of registered independents.<\/p>\n<p>Black voters were slightly more likely than white voters to support Governor DeSantis\u2019 legislation.<\/p>\n<p>The trio of polls seem to refute claims by the bill\u2019s corporate detractors and the LGBT movement that these educational limits lack popular support. For instance, Disney heiress Abigail Disney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/disney-heiress-rants-anti-woke-right-has-finally-run-amok-calls-activist-rufo-little-punk\">said<\/a> \u201cmost Americans are offended by\u201d the bill \u201cand wish it would just go away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other liberals said the bill insulted the intelligence of Florida\u2019s children. \u201cAs a former teacher, I want to\u00a0make it clear that these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/children-are-more-smarter-than-ron-desantis-education-policies-democratic-teacher-turned-senator\">children are more smarter<\/a> [sic] than\u00a0we think they are,\u201d\u00a0Florida State Senator Shevrin Jones (D) told MSNBC\u2019s Joy Reid in January.<\/p>\n<p>Jones\u2019 fellow Democrats and some in the legacy media branded the measure as a controversial \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill, something TIPP called \u201ca branding disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most Americans told Golden\/TIPP pollsters they found it inappropriate and inaccurate to call the Parental Rights in Education law \u2014 which never uses the term \u201cgay\u201d and does not prohibit the use of the word \u2014 a \u201cDon\u2019t Say Gay\u201d bill. The poll found independents and moderates most likely to find the term misleading.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats in Florida, Hollywood celebrities, President Biden, and others leveraged the inappropriate nomenclature to mount opposition,\u201d pollsters said. \u201cThe moral here is that Americans can see through the spin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/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.
