The proposal will take effect after a procedural notice period that lasts about a month, according to an education department spokesman.
“Let’s put it plainly: This is part of the governor’s assault on freedom,” Joe Saunders, senior political director of the LGBTQ advocacy group Equality Florida, said in a statement. The policy will “further stigmatize and isolate a population of young people who need our support now more than ever.”
Opponents say the rule change doesn’t improve vague terminology in the law. They say phrases such as “classroom instruction,” “age appropriate” and “developmentally appropriate,” could be broadly interpreted and lead to self-censorship by educators. Educators have said they don’t expect a major change in lesson plans given that teachers adhere to state education curriculums, fueling criticism that the policy is a culture war cudgel meant to satisfy conservative Republicans.The entertainment giant publicly opposed the legislation last year, and as punishment, DeSantis pushed lawmakers to give him control of a self-governing district Disney has run for decades to oversee its theme park properties.
Before a set of new DeSantis appointees could assume control of the district, Disney’s board passed restrictive covenants that strip the incoming members of most of their powers, blunting the governor’s retaliation. DeSantis then directed Florida’s chief inspector general to investigate the Disney board’s move, and has vowed to take additional revenge against the company through legislation.
