(CBN News) Florida state lawmakers advanced a new measure on Jan. 20 which would prohibit any discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in public school classrooms from kindergarten into middle school.
WFLA-TV reports the proposed bill would be based on the Parents’ Bill of Rights passed by the state legislature in 2021. House Bill 1557 and companion Senate Bill 1834, would require schools to “adopt procedures for notifying” parents if there is a change in their students’ welfare.
State Rep. Joe Harding (R-Williston) proposed the bill in the state House. State Sen. Dennis Baxley (R-Ocala) sponsored the Senate version. The television station reported the text of the bills is identical.
