Disagree.
Children at 5 can experience gender dysphoria due to being Transgendered. Why shouldn't they have an age appropriate education of it's existence so that they know what they're experiencing is an actual known thing and they're not crazy and there's nothing wrong with them?
Withholding basic facts like this is damaging to Trans kids and serves no purpose except to enforce some adult decision makers' bigotry.

You've overlooked a key part of the bill as it's not all students, it limits the age (kindergarten to third grade).
So...
The law is not harmful because...it only bans talking about LBGT issues in the grade levels in which those issues are not talked about ANY way? Which means the law doesnt do anything ...helpful, or harmful. So its just a useless law. Just PR.
A useless law being pushed by the Florida GOP just to pander for votes - because the local GOP has nothing of substence to offer voters...so it just panders to the culture wars with inane legislation like this?
Well OKAY...thats great!
Lets just have a useless law that only exist to make the GOP look like its busy protecting family values...when in fact the GOP is not doing squat for you!
.
I have also pointed out that some concepts are too complicated for young minds to comprehend.
I.E. What may be discussed is "Age Inappropriate".
Thats already addressed in what I said. I said the issues are already NOT discussed at those grade levels so this new law forbids what is already NOT done anyway.
So what is the problem, then?
Also, look at my thread: "Activist Teachers".

Thats for YOU to tell me.
So, you are the ultimate arbiter of the Truth?
Because you say something, that is the end of the conversation?
"I don't think so, Tim."
You are missing my point, time and time again.
"Read my lips."
I don't agree with your assessment.

I know you believe that.
And I keep saying it does.
Read my "Activist Teachers" thread.

Apparently you agree - that it doesnt solve any problem- so- you agree that it shouldnt be enacated. 
You seem to be having comprehension problems.
Where did I say I agree with you.
I am saying if you think it doesn't solve a problem because the problem isn't there, what is the problem?

Even if it doesn’t restrict anything in actuality, the entire PR campaign promotes homophobia/transphobia. That’s the problem, manipulating minds of mentally ill people and teaching them that bigotry against lgbt people is a-okay since it’s government sanctioned. Governments should Not be teaching people to fear or hate lgbt people. Grow up; lgbt rights are human rights. Knock it off with the oppression and move on to working on betting society instead of trying to drag it backwards.
All I see is the campaign that misrepresents the bill.
That is why I started another thread with the title of ""Parental Rights in Education" bill"
viewtopic.php?t=404663#p9000277
The irony is that the bill doesn't want the minds of kindergarten children to have their minds manipulated by political activism.
The bill would outlaw "bigotry against lgbt people" and presumably, religious activist teachers also.
So, who are you telling to grow up?
Me?

Define gender dysphoria due to be transgendered? Lots of five year old children think they are a different gender and grow out of it. Some don't. Explain to them it's natural at that age and allow them to develop naturally without grooming or starting puberty blockers.
You would start puberty blockers on a five year that thought it was a different gender? Some five years olds think they're a horse, or superman, and sometimes invisible. It's the parents decision and not the schools to define the education material.
Suicide rate for the transgendered is too high and above the norm for the population. I never said withhold basic facts.
Why would you jump to the conclusion of prescribing puberty blockers to a 5 year old that's not going to start going through puberty for another 6 years or so?
I said give them the basic age appropriate information.

So did I, you quoted me.
Just shows how much I now about the subject details and still you didn't answer the question, would you start grooming someone's 5 yo child w/o their knowledge?

Sounds like a fallacy to me.
Let me think about that.
In which way do they experience gender dysphoria at 5?

Just my opinion, but gender dysphoria wouldn't be experienced/known at 5.
Do you mean they might prefer to play with dolls?
*I* "play" with action figures, btw.

Why is the subject even brought up with a 5 year old in the first place?

I'm also not comfortable with this subject being discussed with a 5 year old. But that ins't what De Santis is trying push down Florida voter's throats is it.

Please spell out to me what DeSantis *is* saying.
I need a link to verify what you say, btw.
There always seems to be a lot of arguments when people don't actually know the facts.

While you are fascinated about 5 years olds hearing about gay people, meanwhile the bill prohibits discussion of anything in schools even to highschoolers which seems stupid.
The law is passed so I am interested what type of witch hunt is going to to be conducted when a teacher actually uses the word in class? are they going to send the SWAT to cuff and spread eagle the teacher and send them to jail? are they going to get the sack?
