gender pronouns in schools
Florida Republicans on Wednesday approved bills to ban diversity programs
in colleges and prevent students and teachers from being required to use
pronouns that dont correspond to someones sex, building on top
priorities of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The two proposals were given final passage by the Republican
supermajorities in the House and Senate. DeSantis is expected to sign the
bills into law.
DeSantis, who is expected to announce a presidential campaign in the
coming weeks, has driven a hardline conservative agenda as he seeks to
bolster support of Republican primary voters ahead of his White House run.
The states Legislative session, scheduled to end this week, has been
dominated by divisive cultural issues, with Republican allies of DeSantis
approving his priority bills on sexual orientation, gender identity, race
and education that are expected to aid the governor in his presidential
bid.
The Senate on Wednesday voted to expand the law critics call Dont Say
Gay, a major calling card of DeSantis, with a sweeping bill that prevents
school staffers or students from being required to refer to people by
pronouns that dont correspond to the persons sex.
It also bans classroom instruction on gender identity and sexual
orientation up to the 8th grade, legally reinforcing a DeSantis
administration move to prohibit such lessons in all grades. Additionally,
the bill strengthens the system in which people can lodge challenges
against school books, another DeSantis initiative that has led to the
removal of material he and his supporters argue are inappropriate for
children.
Think about what were doing, honestly. Think about how this will affect
families that dont look like yours, said Sen. Tracie Davis, a Democrat.
Theyre still families. Theyre Florida families. But were treating them
like theyre outsiders and were telling them we dont want them here.
Republicans said the bill is intended to shield children from sexualized
content and reinforce that teachers should conform to existing state
curriculums.
You see society coming at our children in a culture war that has an
agenda to make them confused, Republican Sen. Erin Grall said. We are
depriving children of the ability to figure out who they are when we push
an agenda, a sexualized agenda, down onto children.
Separately, Republicans in the House gave final passage to a DeSantis
priority bill that bans colleges from using state or federal funding for
diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
Such initiatives, sometimes referred to as DEI, have come under increasing
criticism from Republicans who argue the programs are racially divisive.
DeSantis to expand Dont Say Gay law to all grades in FloridaFlorida

Republican lawmakers in at least a dozen states have proposed more than 30
bills this year targeting diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in
higher education, an Associated Press analysis found using the bill-
tracking software Plural.
They want rote belief in the same thing. They say they want inclusion,
but they dont unless you believe what they believe, said Rep. Randy
Fine, a Republican. These programs are being used all over the country.
Imagine how great our universities will be when we are the only ones who
are not.
The House also approved a proposal to ban people from entering bathrooms
that do not correspond to their sex, a bill aimed at transgender bathroom
use.
DeSantis is expected to formally announce his presidential candidacy after
the end of the legislative session. He has spent significant time in
recent months traveling to battleground states and elsewhere to promote
his conservative agenda and trumpet his policies on race, gender and
education.
In the statehouse, Democrats, who have no power to stop the Republican
legislation, have increasingly begun to vent over the rightward shift in
policy emanating from the GOP.
The message that resonates from this chamber over the last few years is
one of hate and exclusion and punishment, said Democratic Sen. Jason
Pizzo. There is very little grace and very little compassion.
