Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday challenged a reporter about the exact contents of an education bill, pushing back against a media narrative that has misnamed the proposed measure the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
Officially titled “Parental Rights in Education,” House Bill 1557 (pdf), would in part prohibit school districts from encouraging classroom discussions about sexual orientation or gender identity in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.
