Florida State Rep. Joe Harding spearheaded Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, which received the misnomer “Don’t Say Gay Bill” from the progressive left. He believes schools have become emboldened to override parental authority because there has been a fundamental breakdown of the family and the family’s role in American society.

“It’s a breakdown in understanding of what the role of the family is, and you cannot replace parents with government,” Harding said during a Sept. 27 interview with EpochTV’s American Thought Leader program.
