Florida is officially banning the mutilation of minors in the name of “gender affirmation,” as Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Wednesday signed legislation addressing issues associated with the radical left’s transgender agenda.
“We never did this through all of human history, until like, what, two weeks ago now? This is something they’re having … third graders declare pronouns. We’re not doing the pronoun Olympics in Florida. It’s not happening here,” DeSantis said, explaining that the measure also expands the Parental Rights in Education law. The original law prevented any classroom discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity for children in kindergarten through third grade.
I think what we’ve seen in these in these libraries, and in some of the books, there’s clearly a concerted effort to try to do indoctrination in the middle school grades. And so the legislature, I think, has looked at that evidence and wisely said that, you know, on those issues, if a parent wants to engage in that with their kid at those ages, then that’s up to them.
DeSantis also highlighted H.B. 1438, which addresses the looming issue of children attending sexually explicit drag shows, imposing fines on establishments that allow children to attend these adult performances.
