Some Duval County, Florida teachers say their planning week was spent peeling LGBTQ+ Safe Space stickers, rainbows, or other signs of support for LGBTQ+ students off of their walls. Duval Schools say that this is part of a rebranding of "All In For Safe Schools" that complies with the Parental Rights in Education bill by not referencing gender or sexual identity. In a statement the civil rights group Equality Florida wrote, "As Duval County Public Schools students begin their first day of school, they are returning to classrooms that have been stripped bare of all visible support for LGBTQ students. Last week, the school district’s leadership held an emergency meeting with school principals in which they were directed to remove all posters, wall decorations, and stickers that support and affirm LGBTQ students."
