Lifesite news reports Florida schools are sifting through instructional materials to ensure they comply with laws set to take effect in July that ban instruction containing critical race theory and restrict instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed into law the Parental Rights in Education bill, which prohibits discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in grades K-3 and restricts it to “age appropriate” content for older children; and another bill that prohibits the teaching of Critical Race Theory tenets.

These laws are about respecting the rights of parents and protecting children from dangerous and erroneous information. Good leaders understand these concepts and take appropriate actions to ensure both happen. Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, Governor Evers had the opportunity to sign similar bills into law but chose to veto both of them.
