[It’s a great answer, but it’s not really a *new* answer. DeSantis has been making this argument in one form or another since advocating for the Parental Rights in Education Act in early 2022. The media labeled it “Don’t Say Gay,” but the bill imposes no such restriction. It just limits sex education to basic human biology in schools, and also to *just* sex-ed curricula. You don’t need teachers delivering LGBTQ ideological indoctrination for ‘acceptance.’ Instead, as DeSantis says, it shouldn’t even come up in education, which should focus on actual education rather than politics. — Ed]
