KRGV VIA AP Grassia Luna Frankoski ORLANDO, Fla. Students and teachers will be able to speak freely about sexual orientation and gender identity in Florida classrooms, provid- ed not part of instruction, under a settlement reached Monday between Florida education and civil rights attorneys who challenged a state law that critics dubbed Say The settlement what is al- lowed in Florida classrooms following passage two years ago of the law pro- hibiting instruction on sexual orienta- tion and gender identity in early grades. Opponents said the law had created confusion about whether teachers could identity themselves as or if they even could have rain- bow stickers in classrooms. Other states used the Florida law as a template to pass prohibitions on classroom instruction on gender iden- tity or sexual orientation. Alabama, Ar- kansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and North Carolina are among them.
Under the terms of the settlement, the Florida Board of Education will send instructions to every school dis- trict saying the Florida law pro- hibit discussing people, nor prevent anti-bullying rules on the basis of sexual orientation and gender iden- tity or disallow Gay-Straight Alliance groups. The settlement also spells out that the law is neutral meaning what applies to people also applies to heterosexual people and that it apply to library books not being used in the classroom. this settlement does, is, it re- establishes the fundamental principle, that I hope all Americans agree with, which is every kid in this country is en- titled to an education at a public school where they feel safe, their dignity is re- spected and where their families and parents are Roberta Kap- lan, the lead attorney for the said in an interview. be a controversial Florida Gov. Ron described the deal as a with the law remaining intact.
mutually agreed settle- ment ensures that the law will remain in and it is expected that the case will be dismissed by the Court immi- DeSantis said in a statement. The law, formally known as the Pa- rental Rights in Education Act, has been championed by the Republican governor since before its passage in 2022 by the GOP-controlled Florida Legislature. It barred in- struction on sexual ori- entation and gender identity in kindergarten through the third grade, and it was expanded to all grades last year. Republican lawmakers had argued that parents should broach these sub- jects with children and that the law protected children from being taught about inappropriate material. But opponents of the law said it cre- ated a chilling in classrooms.
Some teachers said they were unsure if they could mention or display a photo of their same-sex partner in the class- room. In some cases, books dealing with topics were removed from classrooms and lines mentioning sexual orientation were excised from school musicals. The Miami-Dade County School Board in 2022 decided not to adopt a resolution recognizing LGBTQ History Month, even though it had done so a year earlier. The civil rights attorneys sued Flori- da education on behalf of teachers, students and parents, claim- ing the law was unconstitutional, but the case was dismissed last year by a federal judge in Tallahassee, who said they lacked standing to sue. The case was appealed to the 11th U.S.
