Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Monday he will prioritize passing Texas legislation that mimics the recently signed Florida bill referred to as the "Don't Say Gay" law.
That state's controversial law prohibits classroom lessons on sexual orientation or gender identity for kids below the fourth grade or any instruction that is not "age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate" for older students. It has come under heavy scrutiny as opponents of the bill say it will harm LGBTQ children.
