Florida’s Terrorist Group ‘Moms For Liberty’ Wants Even More From DeSantis

The Florida chapter of Moms for Liberty, the conservative nonprofit that advocates for parental rights in schools, would like state lawmakers to expand the state law that restricts classroom instruction about gender identity and sexual orientation for children from kindergarten through the third grade. The Parental Rights in Education law, dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by its critics, ignited a firestorm of criticism from Democrats and LGBTQ+ advocates and received national attention after it was introduced and later signed into law last year. Angela Dubach, the Pinellas County chapter chair of the organization said, “We are advocating to increase that as far as ages and grades to have it be K-8.” She was speaking to the members of the Pinellas County legislative delegation as they met as a group on Wednesday morning at the Clearwater branch campus of St. Petersburg College. The office of Florida Gov. DeSantis (R) has confirmed that the anti-LGBTQ+ governor is supportive of extending the stipulations of the state’s Don’t Say Gay law. DeSantis Press Secretary Bryan Griffin said that “The governor would certainly consider the merits of such a bill in final form if it comes to his desk as a product of the forthcoming legislation session.” Griffin said DeSantis often expresses his belief that “the purpose of our education system is to educate kids, not indoctrinate kids.”
