I'm a former Democrat in Florida and voted DeSantis. First, can we stop calling the Parental Rights in Education law the "Don't say Gay" law? The bill is a comprehensive 7 page document giving parents more rights over their kids' education in public schools. The "Don't say Gay" part is literally two sentences that prohibit teaching kids ages 5 - 9 about complex issues regarding gender and sex. I support LGBTQ rights, but it's my responsibility to have these discussions with my kids, not an activist teacher.
The left wing media portrayal of DeSantis is generally wrong. Read his budget. He's invested quite a bit into preserving and restoring Florida's natural resources, saving Florida's manatees, infrastructure improvements, healthcare, mental health, education and public safety. At the same time, his budget is fiscally responsible.
DeSantis made it much easier for me to help my kid with learning disabilities get a good education. Parents of students with disabilities qualify for nearly $9k in educational assistance that can be used for private school tuition or other services such as therapy or tutoring.
The media seems to miss how terrible Charlie Crist was as the Democrat nominee for Governor. Why would Florida voters be energized to vote for the former Republican governor with a poor track record?
Yes. Can we please stop regurgitating the Don’t Say Gay label every time the topic arises? We know it was invented as a propaganda tool. I’m a lesbian and I have gay friends who still think that’s what the bill is about. They get glassy-eyed when I correct them, because it is genuinely hard to change your mind about something you were so sure of. Let’s not do the work of cynical Democrats for them.
