During a Florida House Education Quality Subcommittee hearing Wednesday, state Rep. Ashley Gantt (D) questioned her Republican colleague, state Rep. Stan McClain, on his proposed legislation that would restrict certain educational materials used in state schools, which Democrats and critics have likened to banning books. House Bill 1069 would also require that instruction on sexual health, such as health education, sexually transmitted diseases and human sexuality, “only occur in grades 6 through 12,” which prompted Gantt to ask whether the proposed legislation would prohibit young girls from talking about their periods in school when they first start having them.

“So if little girls experience their menstrual cycle in fifth grade or fourth grade, will that prohibit conversations from them since they are in the grade lower than sixth grade?” Gantt asked.

McClain responded, “It would.”

The bill ended up passing, 13-5, on Wednesday in a party-line vote, as GOP legislators make up a supermajority in the chamber.

I know this next part is a trigger for @MrWookie:

Restricting girls from talking about their periods in school is not the only item in McClain’s bill, which was introduced last month. The bill calls for schools to teach how “sex is determined by biology and reproductive function at birth” and “these reproductive roles are binary, stable, and unchangeable.”

There shouldn’t be laws that determine what the actual science is.

Exactly, imposing scientific truth through legislation is so backward it’s hard to believe that’s the direction we’re heading.

Desantis knows all the right talking points to hit, he just doesn’t know how to act like a human person and not a lizard-man.

“Food doesn’t solve hunger”

[VoteForSocialists]

that’s a gross misquoting of a sincere philosopher. he said “at any serious level”. school sloppy joes isn’t serious level food. have you considered that keeping kids hungry will make the sturgeon caviar that much more delicious in the kid’s future as a self-made millionaire? the kids will eat eventually. not at lunch, but after school. a little hunger does wonders to cats.

So he’s the right’s Hillary?

DeSantis fulfills the angry mob’s thirst for entertainment by punishing minority groups. I think they will get over his boring presentation because he has done a lot of the cultural grievance work that Trump couldn’t actually deliver on.

I’ve seen several posts about the Cuban baseball player who defected after their last game, and didn’t get back on the plane with the rest of his team. Right wing idiots are so excited to shout about America being so great and Cuba being awful. I just want to scream in their faces asking how this is different than families walking a thousand miles to escape torment looking for a better life in America.
