This is precisely why the state of Florida passed their law. The law was criticized as a “Don’t Say Gay” law. But it wasn’t forbidding a gay teacher from answering a child’s question about what He and his partner did over the weekend.
The law was about disallowing in the curriculum any “instruction” about Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity. This was prohibited…
"in kindergarten through 3rd grade or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."
Well, the K-3 is precise enough.
But the rest of it leaves room for interpretation. Which no doubt will be exploited by some parents who sue school districts because they believe the instruction is not “age appropriate.” Far too often legal language is imprecise. (When it favors their point of view, most really don’t care.)
Here’s the main point. Parent’s, through their elected representatives, are saying enough with this stuff.
Most especially for small children.

Parents who pay for the education of their children should be allowed to send their kids to a school that doesn’t teach 6 year-old students about Preferred Pronouns which deny biology.
Or the current,
LGBTQ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++agenda
Parents have the right to send their kids to a school which doesn’t teach that “biology is bigotry.” Or that there are more than Two Sexes or Two Genders.
(See my post “Show Me The 3rd Gamete, And We Can Talk.”
Or that Sex is assigned at birth.
(See my rebuttal of the “assigned at birth” fiction here and here.)
Parents who think this way are legion and they are waking up to the untruths Gender Ideologues, in the name of Inclusion, have taught their young children.
See my previous post about teachers “Saying NO To Parents.”
Laws are being passed. The law in Florida requires school districts to notify a student’s parent if there is a change “in the student’s services or monitoring related to the student’s mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being and the school’s ability to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for the student.”
It prohibits schools from “encouraging a student to withhold” such information from a parent.
If a child identifies as something other than his or her birth sex, then parents cannot be kept in the dark. They must be told.
This is how it should be.
That’s why they called it a parental rights bill in Florida. Don’t be surprised if the mid-term election results in the U.S. give evidence of this legitimate parental concern.
