The problem with this bill is that it's too vague and can be applied to more than just kindergarten through third grade.
Here is the language
Lines 97-101: Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.
It says "or" in a manner that is not age appropriate. If they have fixed the language to only apply from kindergarten to third grade I would not see a problem with this bill. But with the vague language here they could apply whatever state standards they want to any student in the state including college students if they deem it "appropriate" to do so.
This is the passage that caused the liberals to call it the "don't say gay bill". This is a badly written trans-phobic law that's going to be either abused and or declared unconstitutional. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

California teacher Kristin Pitzen was removed from teaching in her classroom as an investigation begins into a viral TikTok video where she joked about telling a student to pledging allegiance to a LGBTQ Pride flag rather than to the American flag.
Annette Franco, a spokesperson for the Newport-Mesa Unified School District, told the Orange County Register: "Showing respect for our nation's flag is an important value that we instill in our students and an expectation of our employees. The teacher is no longer in the classroom. We follow due process and our investigation continues."
This is what Democrats have brought us and we have to put an end to this bullshit.
