We see through the lies, Gov. DeSantis, and know exactly what 'Don't Say Gay' is all about

We see through the lies, Gov. DeSantis, and know exactly what ‘Don’t Say Gay’ is all about
Miami Herald, 3/29, Opinion by Fabiola Santiago

With the country watching — and even international media covering the ambitious governor’s anti-gay slap and Florida’s general descent into fascism — DeSantis surrounded himself at the event with a group of preppy-uniformed, private-school-educated children.

...

Some of the children were wee young, but here they were, props for a governor signing a measure to censor a subject, sexual identity, that they’re not supposed to be hearing about.

The law quashing classroom discussions related to sexual orientation and gender identity in kindergarten through third grade also inflicts a chilling effect on instruction for older kids. But the speech ban applies only to public schools.

...

Yet, there’s DeSantis shoving his straight-white-man discomfort down Floridians’ throats at a West Coast charter school. Classical Preparatory School was started in 2014 by the wife of DeSantis’ education commissioner, Richard Corcoran.
