This is the part most people are arguing about, and that's not what is says.
And since the law does not care what your version of the bill says, here is what is actually says, word for word.
3. Classroom instruction by school personnel or third
parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur
in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age
appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in
accordance with state standards.
As you can see, nowhere in the bill is "casual discussion" mentioned as being protected.
The wording is vague and undefined. Who decides what is age or developmentally appropriate?
Teachers are already at high risk of legal exposure and having their underpaid and underappreciated career ruined.
Now, as the law is written, they could be at risk for discussing ANY gender identities or sexual orientation. So, no families, no more husbands or wives exist, not even Mr., Ms., or Mrs. could be used.
Also, if it truly meant what you claim it does, than wouldn't that imply that there is legal protection for classroom instruction that was NOT age or developmentally appropriate for children after grade 3 or outside of the state of Florida.
Like, why would they need a bill passed if it was never ok to teach inapropriate subject matters with children in school in the first place? And why would that protection disappear after grade 3 and outside the state of Florida?
Even teaching that there is gender fluidity or that people can choose their gender is indoctrination. These are all unscientific political opinions.
Indoctrination: the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.
