On March 8, the Florida legislature voted to pass the Parental Rights in Education bill—colloquially known as the "Don't Say Gay" bill (HB 1557)—which prohibits the state's schools from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity with students up through third grade and restricts the topics to only "age appropriate" discussions—which are not defined—after that point. Students, parents and lawmakers alike have decried the bill as blatantly homophobic and transphobic, ostracizing LGBTQ+ students and breeding a culture of intolerance in schools. But in passing this law, Florida is also putting its schools between a rock and a hard place: schools may now have to decide whether to violate federal law by complying with state law. Either way, students will bear the brunt of the consequences.
