Tulsi Gabbard Triggers Leftists With Excellent Suggestion for Florida on Parental Rights Law – Opinion

We previously reported that Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the Florida “Parental Rights in Education” bill into law last Monday as The Usual Suspects on the left vowed to fight it in court and as “woke” Disney pledgedTo lend their support in different ways such as funding an attempt to get the law changed.

Though the law has been dubbed by critics as the “don’t say gay” law, nowhere in the text of it does the word “gay” even appear, much less is it written that teachers are banned from saying “gay.” To reiterate points we’ve already made, here’s what the law actually mandates as far as instruction on sensitive sexual matters goes:

“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.”

You’d think making sure teachers didn’t overstep their bounds in how they approach these topics in the classroom with young children wouldn’t be considered “controversial” at all, but the radical left being who they are have portrayed the “issue” that way in a campaign that so far has failed to convince even a majority of their own voters, who along with conservatives also support the measure.

And speaking to that point, former Congresswoman and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard took to the Twitter machine earlier to not only express her support for the law but to also to note her surprise that the limiting of the instruction/discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity topics only applied to grades K-3.

Observing that most people were well aware at this point that “parental rights are under attack by the government all across this country,” Gabbard said, “We should all support the Parental Rights in Education bill that recently passed in Florida, which very simply bans government and government schools from indoctrinating ‘woke’ sexual values in or schools to a captive audience.”

“A captive audience” Gabbard noted, “that is by law required to attend.”

Elle suggested that perhaps the law should go further.

“I gotta tell you I was shocked to learn it only protects kids from kindergarten until third grade,” she stated. “Third grade? How about the 12th grade? Personal lives are not for government. The bedroom is where the government has no place. Parents are the ones responsible for raising their kids and instilling in them a moral foundation, not the government.”

She then pivoted to where she believes the real focus in public education should be: Reading, writing, arithmetic, and history, where she says our schools are “failing” students.

“The reality that we are facing in our country is our schools are failing. In the fourth grade, only 34 percent of American students can read at a basic level. 25 percent of high school graduates are functionally illiterate,” she pointed out.

“Now I’m confident that if our schools focused on educating our kids, teaching them the fundamentals … we would see our literacy rates improve and set our young people up for success to be thinking logically, to be thinking critically, and thinking for themselves. This is what our public schools should focus on” Gabbard asserted.

Watch:

The comment section of her tweet was of course bursting at the seams with triggered Democrats, but she made some great points I’ve also heard some Republicans make about how there needs to be more of a sense of urgency in the party among political leaders about how “woke” groups and educators work to indoctrinate students in All gradesYou can find it on any topic related to transgenderity and sexual orientation, as well as critical race theory or hatred of America.

DeSantis and Florida’s Republicans have clearly tried to solve some of the concerns by introducing this bill and other laws, just as they have done with other red-state governors. That is great. My biggest concern is that people opposed to indoctrination are unsure how strong these Republicans will be when they begin coordinated trash campaigns, complete with Hollywood elitists giving lectures and the legal threats.

DeSantis and company have shown they’re committed to not backing down in the face of concerted media/leftist PR efforts. It will fall to parents living in other states that they ensure the Republicans, who are representing their interests, not only participate in the battle but also get involved. Keep it goingLikewise. Because if we can’t get a handle on how far radicals on the left are willing to go to infiltrate schools and pump poison into the minds of impressionable kids, everything else falls apart.
