Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' Law

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs the Parental Rights in Education bill, also known as the 'Don't Say Gay' bill, but a settlement clarifies that students and teachers can discuss sexual orientation and gender identity in Florida classrooms as long as it's not part of instruction. The law doesn't prohibit discussing LGBTQ+ people, anti-bullying rules based on sexual orientation and gender identity, or Gay-Straight Alliance groups.
