The state of Florida reached a settlement in a lawsuit concerning the controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law, which has been a focal point of debates around LGBTQ discussions in schools. The settlement, announced Monday, modifies the 2022 Parental Rights in Education Act but leaves it intact. It aims to address concerns by clarifying that the law does not completely prohibit LGBTQ topics in classrooms but mandates a neutral stance on sexuality and gender identity discussions.
Governor Ron DeSantis’s administration hailed the settlement as a triumph, emphasizing the law’s intent to keep classrooms safe without the feared limitations on rights. The adjustment comes after litigation and public backlash, including a high-profile dispute with Disney. This resolution is seen as a significant step in defining the law’s boundaries, offering relief to educators and parents like Cecile Houry, who expressed concerns about the law’s vagueness impacting students’ experiences and freedoms.
