New Restrictions For Some Florida Schools As ‘Don’t Say Gay’ Law Goes Into Effect – By Sara Boboltz (Huffpost) / July 1, 2022

The highly controversial Florida education law dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” officially went into effect on Friday, July 1, even though state officials have yet to clarify exactly what conduct is banned under the new rules.
The measure purportedly asserts parental rights by banning discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade classrooms. But it is written in vague terms that obscure the scope of the law.
