I want to share a little story. I think it will help you understand what all the "Don't Say Gay"-mania is about. I'll explain why I choose "mania" at the end.
"Anti-Ideologue Educator". That's what this law in Florida should truly be called... 🧵
The root of these laws I can paint with a different short story...
As I've said, we're very happy with my daughter's public school. But one day she came home and out of the blue asked me about "that fish that can change from a girl to a boy". 🧐 Really?
She was in 2nd grade. 🤬
Because these gender ideologues are in every school. Nationwide. In some counties they are formalized now and part of the school itself. In others, it's rogue individuals. In either case, the target is our children. And these programs/people are actively seeding their minds.
Around the Holidays I received an email from her school asking me to sign a medical consent waiver. Ok. But I'm a lawyer, so I like to read that stuff. I went to see what the terms were and, low and behold, there weren't any. Just some vague language and a space for my initials.
So I called the next day as there was no email and got a VM. But what message would I be leaving? So I just hung up and put it off. The form seemed to be about her getting aid at the nurse. Some new parent authorization they needed on file. Almost like a refresher, it seemed.
Closer to the due date, I'm copied on another email. It had a link to an FAQ about this form.
Interestingly, the first one was to dispel that the form consented to any "inoculations". I figure some parents likely inquired about that. But now I'm all types of curious...
I read on and no shit if it doesn't say that part of what I'm giving consent to is things like "counseling, referrals, therapy". WTF?!? I thought this was the school nurse. Now, it was carefully-couched language, but it was there.
So I keep reading...
All I really care about is that it won't hold my daughter up from school. Do I HAVE to sign this? Turns out, no, I don't. And in fact, the next question was "Will my child still get emergency aid if no consent form?" and the answer was yes.
Not just yes, but...
Says will be rendered emergency aid and then parent contacted for direction/pick-up. Well, shit, that's what I want the default from the school nurse to be anyhow. What exactly am I consenting to then?
I'm consenting to that garbage above. The counseling/leftist ideologue shit.
And that's when the light bulb clicked...
This was DeSantis' new "Parents' Bill of Rights". It was going into effect on that date in January. It wasnt a "refresher" that was needed, his law made it illegal to give my girl counseling/referrals/therapy/bullshit without my consent.
And see, they didn't have my consent yet. That's the form. That's also why it didnt impact emergency aid. It wasnt about that; that is given by default.
Yes, I'm pissed how sneaky this was presented. I dont think the initial no-info signing screen was an accident. Pisses me off.
But I'm glad I figured it out. I'm glad there is no consent form on file for my precious girl. I ever find out those ideologues are putting their leftist wet dreams in my baby girl's ear, we are going to have some big fucking problems.
And I'm VERY thankful for Ron DeSantis!
Now, this new law is different. It actually addresses gender theory being pushed down to K-3. Obviously it's not the law that went into effect recently, but this is our leaders addressing the same toxic soup.
This is what idiots call "Don't Say Gay", like petulant children.
And so, of course, The Truman Show goes to work...
I am so proud of my leaders in Florida. Rare for me. We have led the way.
From beaches and sports venues opening, to getting travel/hospitality back up, to in-person schools, ditching mask mandates, no forced vax, quitting asymp tracing/quarantine and now stopping shots on kids.
Florida has truly been the trailblazer. And just consider how intensely we were attacked. Never credit for anything, not even acknowledgment. Nothing but "Death DeSantis" 24/7 while Cuomo got awards. Thats how bad the propaganda is.
Hard to believe that was real-life. The same politicians who talked all that trash vacationed in Florida mask-free to escape their restricted up towns, of course. Happened dozens of times.
Because they're frauds, and 75% of COVID restrictions have been based on posturing.
