   Democrats misleadingly call it the 'Don’t Say Gay' bill. Here's what   
   is actually in the legislation.   
      
   Florida Republicans on Tuesday passed a parental rights bill that   
   progressives have claimed is anti-LGBTQ.   
      
   But absent from much of the discussion around the bill are the   
   actual contents of the proposed legislation.   
      
   The bill, officially named Parental Rights in Education, bans school   
   employees or third parties from giving classroom instruction on   
   "sexual orientation" or "gender identity" in kindergarten through   
   third grade.   
      
   DESANTIS ACCUSES REPORTER OF PEDDLING ‘FALSE NARRATIVE’ ON EDUCATION   
   BILL IN HEATED PRESS CONFERENCE CLASH   
      
   The bill, which passed the state Senate Tuesday after passing the   
   House last month, has been dubbed the "Don’t Say Gay" bill by   
   Democrats who falsely claim it bans any discussion pertaining to   
   being gay in the state's schools.   
      
   President Biden called it a "hateful bill" in a tweet last month.   
      
   Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is expected to sign the bill,   
   lambasted a WFLA reporter on Monday for saying the "Don’t Say Gay"   
   misnomer during a press conference.   
      
   "Does it say that in the bill?" DeSantis asked, adding that "it's   
   why people don't trust people like you because you peddle false   
   narratives."   
      
   "And we're going to make sure that parents are able to send their   
   kid to kindergarten without having some of this stuff injected into   
   their school curriculum," the governor said.   
      
   DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw similarly fired back at an   
   Associated Press reporter on Tuesday.   
      
   "What's the bill's real name, @ZekeJMiller?" she asked. "Does it   
   mention the word ‘gay’ or LGBT people at all? Are AP reporters   
   expected to read legislation before writing about it?"   
      
   Fox News Digital did read the Parental Rights in Education bill, and   
   here’s what it says:   
      
   What the bill does   
      
   It does require school districts to adopt procedures that "reinforce   
   the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding the   
   upbringing and control of their children in a specified manner."   
      
   It does prohibit classroom instruction, not casual discussion, on   
   "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" with children in third   
   grade or younger, "or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or   
   developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state   
   standards."   
      
   It does require school districts to notify a student’s parent if   
   there is a change "in the student's services or monitoring related   
   to the student's mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being   
   and the school's ability to provide a safe and supportive learning   
   environment for the student."   
      
   It does prohibit schools from "encouraging a student to withhold"   
   such information from a parent.   
      
   It does require school districts to notify parents of each health   
   care service offered at their student's school and the option to   
   withhold consent or decline any specific service.   
      
   It does require that parents be allowed to access their child’s   
   educational or health records kept by the school.   
      
   It does require the school to get parental permission before   
   administering a well-being questionnaire or health screening to   
   students in kindergarten through third grade.   
      
   It does require schools to respond to a parent's concerns within   
   seven days of being notified of those concerns, and the school must   
   resolve those concerns within 30 days. If the issue is not resolved,   
   parents can then sue the school district or request the state   
   Commissioner of Education to appoint a special magistrate to mediate   
   a solution, which the school district must pay for.   
      
   What the bill does not:   
      
   It does not ban the word "gay" in school settings.   
      
   It does not ban casual discussions of topics relating to sexual   
   orientation and gender identity in the classroom.   
      
   It does not require schools to notify parents if their child comes   
   out as gay or transgender.   
      
   It does not require schools to notify parents of information   
   regarding the student's mental, emotional, or physical well-being   
   "if a reasonably prudent person would believe that disclosure would   
   result in abuse, abandonment, or neglect."

   The bill does not prevent Democrats from being ignorant.  They are   
   solely responsible for their own stupidity.
