Students and teachers will be able to speak freely about sexual orientation and gender identity in Florida classrooms, provided it's not part of instruction.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Students and teachers will be able to speak freely about sexual orientation and gender identity in Florida classrooms, provided it’s not part of instruction, under a settlement reached Monday between Florida education officials and civil rights attorneys who had challenged a state law which critics dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.”

The settlement clarifies what is allowed in Florida classrooms following passage two years ago of the law prohibiting instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades. Opponents said the law had created confusion about whether teachers could identity themselves as LGBTQ+ or if they even could have rainbow stickers in classrooms.

    Or is instruction of hetero relationships fine but gay ones not?

    I, for one, am sick and tired of heterosexuals grooming our children because of their straight agenda.

      Absolutely! The amount of heterosexual indoctrination that occurs in our society is absurd. The straight agenda must be stopped! Can someone speak to a manager??
