Florida "don't say gay"

In Florida, can a 3rd grade teacher give a lesson that talks about the marriage between Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd?

Can a 3rd grade teacher give a lesson that talks about the marriage of Elton John and David Furnish?

Seems to me if the law says discussion of sexual orientation is prohibited younger than 3rd grade, it should also include discussion of the heterosexual sexual orientation.

Sorry, it's been a minute. What is the parent's job to teach and not the schools?

Oh, then i disagree.
The reason being that
a) many parents have good information and
b) many parents are uncomfortable doing and just don't

Teaching sexuality is and should remain a part of sex education. If a parent doesn't want their child taught that then they can pull them from that lesson but they must not have the right to deny an informed and timely education on sexuality to other people's children.

@pdockal

What do you consider to be the harm about teaching children what homosexuality is at the same age they are taught about heterosexuality?

@pdockal

Why do you feel it should be the parent's job exclusively?
And do you have a rebuttal to my early explanation of why it's important that schools teach this besides "NO" ?

@Pikachu homosexuality is abnormal and a abomination. It’s perverse and against good morals and values. If not then why is their homosexuals that have been and still are in closets?
