Maher rejects DEMOCRAT misrepresentation ('Don't Say Gay') and opposition to Florida law: "Maybe young kids shouldn't think about sex".
The GOP-backed bill garnered national attention for being derided by progressives as being 'anti-LGBTQ' with false accusations that the bill forbids any discussion pertaining to being gay in schools.
Left-wing critics, including members of the fake news media, have false referred to the legislation as the "Don't Say Gay" bill even though such language is absent from the bill. America's greatest governor is expected to sign it into law.
The bill states, "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."
The legislation additionally requires schools to inform parents "if there is a change in the student's services or monitoring related to the student's mental, emotional, or physical health or well-being and the school's ability to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for the student" and requires parent approval before children from kindergarten through third grade participate in a "well-being questionnaire or health screening" and that parents have the option to opt their children out across all age groups.
"Real Time" host Bill Maher pushed back at the fake "Don't Say Gay" distortion voiced by
DEMOCRATS in opposition to a Florida education reform bill that's been condemned by
DEMOCRATS and their propaganda media.
"I guess it's a reaction to Republicans who feel that there's too much talk in lower grades, I think it's only, they're talking about kindergarten to third grade, so we're talking about very young kids who, you know, as always with this stuff, you know, it's not like there's no kernel of truth in that maybe kids that young shouldn't be thinking about sex at all," Maher said during the "Overtime" segment on Friday.
Addressing the deliberate misrepresentation of the law by agenda-driven
DEMOCRATS, Maher scoffed, "It's not like you're not allowed to literally not 'say gay', but they just don't want teachers talking about it. They think it's the province of parents," Maher told the nation.
While failing
New York Times columnist Frank Bruni dismissed the bill as a "culture war that's meant to solve cheap, easy points rather than really solving America's problems,"
Newsweek deputy opinion editor Batya Ungar-Sargon disagreed, insisting the reform effort is focused on parents' rights.
The HBO star went on to read part of the officially named Parental Rights in Education bill, which "would require districts to adopt procedures for notifying a student's parent if there is a change in the student's services or monitoring related to the student's mental, emotional or physical health or well-being."
