Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has not changed his stance on a bill that prohibits discussions on sexuality for the state’s youngest students, despite a call from Disney CEO Bob Chapek expressing “disappointment and concern.”
Officially titled “Parental Rights in Education,” House Bill 1557 would, in part, prevent public schools in Florida from encouraging classroom discussions about “sexual orientation or gender identity” in kindergarten through grade three or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students. DeSantis has signaled his support of the measure and is expected to sign it in the coming days.
