Florida teachers navigate their first year under the 'Don't Say Gay' law

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : One of the measures, the Parental Rights in Education law -- or what critics have called the "Don't Say Gay" law -- bans instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity "in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."
47% : For example, if a middle school volleyball coach sees a female athlete walking down the hall holding hands with her girlfriend and the student says "Hey coach, have you met my new girlfriend?" and carries on walking down the hall, the coach doesn't have to call the athlete's parents to tell them their child is in a same-sex relationship, "just as I wouldn't call to tell them that she was dating Billy or John," Hudson said.
