‘The View’ Bashes FL Parental Rights Bill: Just as Harmful as Anti-CRT Bills!

After pushing for CRT in schools, the media’s found a new parental rights issue to attack. You can find more information on The View today, the co-hosts bashed a Florida bill that prohibits teachers from teaching gender identity and sexual orientation to very young children in the classroom. Taking cues from left-wing activists, the hosts dubbed it the “Don’t Say Gay” bill and bashed it as harmful to children.

Joy Behar introduced the topic by playing a soundbite of support for the bill from Governor Ron DeSantis before asking fellow host and Florida resident Ana Navarro, “What message does this send to gay children, their parents? What would you say?”

Navarro stated that she was upset about the Parental Rights in Education Bill. Navarro, like Critical Race Theory did, denied all evidence and claimed this was a fictional bogeyman to stigmatize LGBTQ family members.

“I am very angry about this. First of all, it is not necessary. It is not. First graders do not have a sexuality curriculum.” She stated. CNN analyst, She stated that the bill sends “very chilling messages to LGBTQ families” and instructs students.you are not welcome here, and I also am very concerned about the legal implications because the bill allows you to — allows parents to sue.”

She complained, “What happens if a kid raises her hand in class and says, you know, I have two mommies. I don’t know what the teacher is supposed to do. Say, sorry, we can’t talk about that?”

Sunny Hostin also ranted against the bill, equating it to anti-CRT bills in schools, which she slammed as “anti-Black history.”

[These conversations]The legislation governing parental rights covers the need for such parental rights. This all started with CRT. Let’s not forget that.YouIf you are going after them, those laws will be anti-history. Anti-Black history laws, really. You can’t go after people who aren’t black. The LGBTQ+  community, and then women and then other marginalized groups. Surprised that parents don’t see this as the way to go.It’s something we have seen many times, both in the United States and throughout history.

Of course none of this is true.The Republican state representative who introduced the bill said it would not bar the topic of “LGBTQ History” or bar students talking about their families in the classroom.

What about the parents who support this bill? Hostin suggested that parents should remove their children from these discussions. She did this when she sent pamphlets to her fourth-grade students about masturbation and sex toys. “They were little kids. It was extremely uncomfortable. My choice was to take them out of those discussions, and parents can do that.”

They seemed to miss the point of bills like these, is that parents usually aren’t informed ahead of time that their kids are going to be taught inappropriate and graphic material.

Echoing Hostin’s false assessment of the right, Joy Behar added that “The Republican Party is in denial. Do not talk about slavery. Don’t talk about gays.”

Kit Kat sponsored the View, which was inspired by far-left activists. You can reach Kit Kat at the Conservatives Fight Back link.

JOY BEHAR, Okay. Florida’s hot topic could soon be taboo. According to Governor Ron DeSantis, this so-called don’t say gay bill has been introduced in state legislative. This law seeks out gender and sexual identity discussion outside primary schools. Watch. 

ROY DESANTIS Do not choose your gender. All this and more. The parents won’t know about the discussions. This is completely inappropriate. Since the debate began, many people have said to me, “That has happened in areas you would never expect to it to happen, you know.” Politicians are claiming that parents don’t have any role in the education and development of their children. Take a deep breath. 

BEHAR: He is a great tie. It was so beautiful, didn’t it? [chuckles] Questions. 

ANA NAVARRO:  I couldn’t stop watching. It felt like an aircraft. Right?

BEHAR: What message would this convey to parents and children of gay people? What message would you send? Miami, this is your state. 

NAVARRO : This is very upsetting. First of all, it doesn’t seem necessary. It is not — the first graders do not have a sexuality curriculum.It sends a chilling message to LGBTQ families, which I agree with. It’s the Republican party, which is the family. And I don’t understand what that means when there are two or more parents, one or both. The message is that you are not welcomed here. I am also very worried about the legal consequences of the bill allowing you to — permits parents to sue. 

HOSTIN: To sue. 

NAVARRO – A teacher can’t tell a child that they aren’t told. What happens to a child who raises her hands in class and declares, You know, I’ve got two mommies. How is the teacher to handle this? You can say, “Sorry, we are unable to talk about that.” 

HAINES:  They can have private discussions. 

FARAH – I agree with Ana. This is not necessary. This is a huge issue. Do we really need it as an official policy? But I would say this. I support the LGBTQ community. 

Although this is a common mistake, it’s a good idea to be more specific about what the program actually accomplishes. This program is targeted at third-graders and older. The exceptions are that students still can have private conversations and discussions with teachers. I find this to be extremely valuable. People I have known who came out to teachers for the first time personally. It doesn’t stop there. These discussions, though broadened might be more appropriate for sex education later on in education. 

BEHAR:  If at all. 

FARAH – These are essential conversations. 

HOSTIN:You do require them, which falls under the purview of parental rights legislation. This all started with CRT. Let’s not forget that.YouIf you are going after them, those laws will be anti-history. It is true that anti-black history laws exist. You can’t go after people who aren’t black. The LGBTQ+  community, and then women and then other marginalized groups. Surprised that parents don’t see this as the way to go.It’s something we have seen many times, in both our own country and throughout the history of humanity. Let me just say, though, that when I saw my fourth-grade children go through sex education there were certain things that were not right for them. This pamphlet, which I’m not sure of the details, contained masturbation and sex toys. 

BEHAR: What age were they? 

HOSTIN: Fourth grade. These were very young children. It was extremely uncomfortable for me. I chose to remove them from those conversations. Parents can also do this. 

BEHAR: Yeah. 

HOSTIN:  But these parents, I think, in this bill is requiring everyone to parent the way they want to be parented. 

HOSTIN: Yeah. This isn’t parental. 

NAVARRO, I’d like to tell you this story. A friend of mine has a father who was a Florida legislator. He served as a senator from Florida for around 20 years. My friend was transgender. His father was homophobic. He would beat him. If a 6-year-old child, say, “I don’t know what I feel” and then goes to talk to his teacher, the teacher will now be forced to inform the parent.

 If not, they are liable. You know that not every house is a Cleaver residence. Some homes are not safe places for children. 

Also, I believe that Republicans should be smaller government and not have a large brother watching. The idea of people telling educators and school boards across Florida how to conduct themselves with students and what to do is very troubling. There’s also another bill that you mentioned that deals with sexuality and gender. A second bill bans all conversations that could make anyone feel shameful or discomfort. 

HOSTIN: Yeah. 

BEHAR:  Sara? 

HAINES: You guys reference it, so this is evidently a political move. They don’t seem to be displaying a common problem. Show me data if you plan to pass legislation for all of the state. His examples are only anecdotal. His response was that he didn’t believe it would be widespread and, being a Republican, I agree with him. My position is more conservative than others. I do not believe in banning anything. I do not believe in wiping out things. I don’t mind disagreeing. 

BEHAR: But that’s the whole Republican party is in a state of denial. Do not talk about slavery. Don’t talk about gay–

HAINES – The general not banning tends be more in line. I find this confusing. This is a misconception. Currently, sex ed refers to this as an issue of parenting rights. Sunny also mentioned it. You can take your child out of these Florida districts. You have already the right to remove your child. 

HOSTIN:  That’s what they should do. 

HAINES:  The danger here is our teachers are first responders for children in crisis, whether it’s abuse at home, neglect at home. 

BEHAR:  Yeah. 

HAINES:  They know if a child hasn’t eaten a meal. If you start to lose the trust, and although private conversations are allowed, this brings a shadow of shame to the conversation, and I think we need easy to teachers. 

How about the sex education? This bill doesn’t concern sexeducation. 

HOSTIN: It’s about censorship.

NAVARRO:  It’s about the little 5-year-old boy who wears a dress to class, and the kids will ask, why is Bobby wearing a dress? 

FARAH: But what you can’t lose in this is these are the youngest kids and our kids are falling behind. We need to focus on reading and writing with 3-year-olds through third graders after a year in the classroom. These conversations can be had as an older age if we wish. 

HOSTIN – This is anecdotal. However, my god daughter, who is lesbian and is now 5 years old, was aware that she was a lesbian. Many homosexual children are unaware that they have been born gay.
