Analysis: The systemic bias of state-level anti-gay legislation
would allow school staff to ignore students’ gender identities or to mandate that parents be informed about students’ gender identity decisions.The language of such legislation is often trimmed to be quite broad. Florida’s bill, for example, states:
“Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.” You can see how open that is to interpretation. The vagueness allows advocates to assure their base that restrictions will be in place while telling the public at large that any effects will be limited., though, there wasn’t any formalized instruction on sexual orientation in those younger grades in Florida. So what’s under discussion? DeSantis addressed this in March 2022 when discussing the above legislation.
“When you actually look at the bill and it says ‘no sexual instruction to kids pre-K through three,’ how many parents want their kids to have transgenderism or something injected into classroom instruction?” heat a news conference. “It’s basically saying for our younger students, do you really want them being taught about sex? And this is any sexual stuff. But I think clearly right now, we see a focus on transgenderism, telling kids they may be able to pick genders and all of that.
The dismissive and inaccurate “may be able to pick genders” rhetoric is telling: DeSantis is using perceived normalcy as a political stalking horse. Republicans are nearly four times as likely as Democrats to say that society has “gone too far” in accepting people who are transgender, according toBut notice how he also conflates “transgender” with “being taught about sex” and “sexual stuff.
