Florida Senate passes ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill

The Florida Senate passed the “Parental Rights in Education” bill in a vote of 22 to 17. The bill will then head to Gov. Ron DeSantis for signing. The bill prohibits "classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity" in the state’s primary schools. “This bill is an international embarrassment to our state,” Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried said. “Because the Governor and the legislature won’t say it, I will: this kind of hate and discrimination has no place in Florida.” - NBC News
