 Conservative States Consider Copying Florida


In Ohio, Republicans have introduced legislation similar to Florida’s recently enacted law prohibiting teachers from discussing sexual orientation and gender identity with children in kindergarten through third grade. In Texas, Republican lieutenant governor Dan Patrick suggests that it would behoove his state to consider a similar law next legislative session. By one accounting, there are about a dozen states that have considered legislation like this. Florida’s is the only one that has made it into law.
 
The biggest poll to date on Florida’s law found that not only do almost two-thirds of Americans support the law once they’ve read the text, but that that support holds strong across nearly all major demographics. A majority of Democrats support the law. A majority of Biden voters support it. Sixty percent of suburban voters support it. More than 60 percent of respondents who said they “know someone LGBTQ” support it.
It’s not difficult to understand why these numbers shake out the way they do when you look at the legislation with clear eyes. It’s not an attack on LGBTQ people or their existence. It doesn’t “erase” anyone. It doesn’t harm anyone. It merely asks teachers to reserve for parents the right to introduce their very young children to sexual topics at the pace they feel is best in the privacy of their own home. The law affirms, in other words, that parents, not teachers, are the primary educators and guides of their children.
It is not now and never should be the job of teachers to ensure that every American child under the age of eight knows what it means to be queer. Children under the age of eight do not need “gender affirmation” in the classroom. They need to learn how to read and how to multiply numbers and how to locate their state on a map. That anyone thinks otherwise is indicative of a deep, startling divide on what it means to educate children.
