As the controversial Parental Rights in Education bill, known to its critics as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, makes its way to the Senate floor, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis weighed in on the legislation and rejected the way it’s being portrayed in the media. At a press conference in Jacksonville on Friday, DeSantis defended the bill, saying it’s about “no sexual instruction” given to young students, CBS Miami reports. “When you actually look at the bill and it says ‘no sexual instruction to kids pre-K through three,’ how many parents want their kids to have transgenderism or something injected into classroom instruction?” DeSantis said.
