Now the state must approve any additional curriculum and they’ll either deny the additions or ignore them, forcing local districts to cancel sex-ed classes altogether until the state addresses their plans.
Elissa Barr, a professor of public health at the University of North Florida and a member of the sex ed advocacy group Florida Healthy Youth Alliance, has been keeping in touch with local school officials and compiling a list of words and phrases they’ve been told to remove from their reproductive health plans.
These words include abuse, consent, domestic violence, fluids, gender identity and LGBTQ information, she said.
Removing the word “fluids” from lessons will make it hard to teach about how HIV is transmitted, for instance, since it spreads through blood, breast milk, semen and vaginal “fluids”.
“That’s science,” Barr said.
How is this legal on a federal level and htf is a governor allowed this much power? He is acting like the dictator of his state.
It’s worse than that. He had aspirations to be the next Trump, and he has eliminated large swaths of transparency and accountability laws.
He’s pretty much free to spend taxpayer money with no accountability. He is a little dictator.
So he basically banned education and sex from sex ed classes, got it. Next step - banning Arabic (gasp!) numerals from math classes and prohibition of mentioning any other countries apart from USA and Israel during geography lessons?
