"The board of Florida’s largest school district has rejected new sexual education textbooks that it approved three months ago.
The 5-4 vote by the Miami-Dade County School Board on Wednesday leaves students without a sex ed curriculum.
The decision comes four months after the state passed a law banning certain instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom that critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” law.
The textbooks cover pregnancy prevention, understanding sexuality and sexually transmitted infections, drugs and alcohol, and relationships, according to descriptions in the book.
In April, the board approved middle school and high school versions of the Comprehensive Health Skills textbook. The decision was met with petitions from opponents, prompting a hearing in June to assess the petitions.
District Superintendent José Dotres appointed a hearing officer who recommended the board deny the petitions and adopt the textbooks."
