Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill is being expanded, but the Democrats should temper their fury just a little bit in the knowledge that the media’s still spinning on their behalf. ABC News showed again how it’s done:
BREAKING: The Florida Board of Education votes to expand so-called "Don't Say Gay" rules through 12th grade. https://t.co/mjzU8PV7sM
— ABC News (@ABC) April 19, 2023
“So-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill“? We’ll get to that in a second:
The Florida Board of Education has voted to expand restrictions on classroom instruction related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
“This amendment prohibits classroom instruction to students in pre-kindergarten through Grade 3 on sexual orientation or gender identity. For Grades 4 through 12, instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited unless such instruction is either expressly required by state academic standards … or is part of a reproductive health course or health lesson for which a student’s parent has the option to have his or her student not attend,” according to the amendment.
ABC News noted that the bill “was dubbed ‘Don’t Say Gay’ by critics” which of course the media immediately began calling it because they’re super non-biased journalists:
The law was dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by critics for aiming to restrict curriculum that includes history, literature and more that touch on LGBTQ identities.
You’ve probably noticed that the media doesn’t use what Republicans call Democrat legislation in their headlines. For example, you won’t find any MSM stories headlined “Democrats pass so-called Inflation-Worsening Act.” But the rules are different when it comes to Republican legislation.
That isn’t the name of the law.

There is literally no such thing as a 'Don't Say Gay' bill or 'Don't Say Gay' rules. https://t.co/bZFzcw5apV

It's "so-called" that by Democrats.
Why are you using Democrat nomenclature for a law that is very clearly titled "Parental Rights in Education"? https://t.co/2VnaUhCrb9

You can't expand something that doesn't exist. 0 x ♾ = 0 https://t.co/pMWjjBQRUr

As always, “follow the money.”
Fun fact: the phrase "Don't Say Gay" was a talking point created by Planned Parenthood years before the Florida bill to fight similar bills around the country.
Planned Parenthood is making millions distributing puberty blockers to minors. https://t.co/JWq6bDWJHz

The media unquestioningly using a misleading Planned Parenthood talking point to describe a bill that outlaws teaching queer theory pseudoscience to minors is a disgrace and a scandal.

Planned Parenthood first coined the phrase in regard to a Missouri bill 3 years ago. They have since nuked their page but you can still see it on the Wayback Machine: https://t.co/sM3AuwmvP9 pic.twitter.com/FNdqecBrpi

You need to understand that behind all these appeals about "human rights" and "equality" is nothing but a massive money-making operation that found a cash cow in vulnerable children. It's all about money. Pure evil.

And much of the media is obviously more than happy to help.
