#Florida's governor has moved to expand a controversial law barring public schools from teaching about #SexualEducation and #GenderIdentity.

Governor #RonDeSantis is seeking to extend it to all grades, through to the final year of high school.

Teachers who violate the law - denounced by critics as "Don't Say Gay" - face being suspended or losing their teaching licenses.

The Board of Education is expected to vote on the proposed rule next month.

A New Bill Could Legalize #Kidnapping #Transgender Kids by Their Parents

A newly introduced bill Friday by #Republican state #Senator #ClayYarborough in #Florida could let a parent kidnap their children and bring them across state lines if the parent believes that the child is receiving #GenderAffirmingHealthcare—or even if the child is simply "at risk" of getting that care.

I’m really glad that they did this. But I think that pundits who bend over backwards to avoid hurting fascist feelings won’t understand why it matters. #RefusingService #HateSpeech #HateLegislation #lgbtqrights
