Oops…they did it again.

Florida Representative Adam Anderson (R-Tarpon Springs) filed a bill on Feb. 28 that would expand upon the controversial Parental Rights in Education law, commonly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” law.

Under this new proposal, it would bar topics related to sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten to third grade to now eighth grade.

“Don’t Say LGBTQ policies have already resulted in sweeping censorship, book banning, rainbow Safe Space stickers being peeled from classroom windows, districts refusing to recognize LGBTQ History Month, and LGBTQ families preparing to leave the state altogether,” Equality Florida Public Policy Director Jon Harris Maurer, said in a statement. “This legislation is about a fake moral panic, cooked up by [Gov. Ron] DeSantis to demonize LGBTQ people for his own political career.”
