If an LGBTQ+ student is being bullied, will a teacher be allowed to instruct the class to treat LGBTQ+ people with respect? These are the questions that schools will now face.

“The potential impacts of this bill remain unclear and broad. But how exactly will the bill work in practice – and how will it really affect LGBTQ+ children?īrandon Wolf, Press Secretary at LGBTQ+ advocacy group Equality Florida, is concerned by the innumerable questions raised by the bill. Now that the bill has been passed, it’s expected to be signed into law by Republican governor Ron DeSantis. Formally named the ‘Parental Rights in Education’ bill, the legislation states that classroom teaching “on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade three” or “in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate”. Last week, Republican lawmakers in Florida passed the Don’t Say Gay Bill – a controversial piece of legislation that will restrict schools from teaching about sexual orientation or gender identity.
