An expansion of the Florida law critics dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” passed the state Senate Wednesday and is on its way to the desk of GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is expected to sign it.
In a 27-12 vote, the Florida Senate passed an expansion of the law that was put into effect last year in the state.
The expansion of the Parental Rights in Education measure will include a ban on “classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity” through eighth grade; last year’s bill only went through third grade.
In high schools, teachers will not be allowed to discuss either topic in a manner that is not “age appropriate or developmentally appropriate” for their students. Teachers also will not be able to address transgender students by the pronouns of their choice under the expansion of the law.
