FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Floridians are roughly evenly divided over the new state law restricting lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity, according to results of a Florida Atlantic University poll.
Debate over the law, formally called “Parental Rights in Education” and branded “Don’t Say Gay” by opponents, has been fierce as it was under consideration in the Legislation and approved by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The law prohibits classroom instruction on “sexual orientation or gender identity” in grades kindergarten through three, or higher grades if in a manner that is not “age-appropriate.”
