Florida county bans kids’ book about gay penguins as schools cite DeSantis’ ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law to erase LGBTQ themes
"Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis claimed his "Don't Say Gay" law only applied to "classroom instruction" in kindergarten through third grade, and only prohibited "sexual instruction," but his Dept. of Education is promoting false claims that school library books are included, and some school systems are using the possibly unconstitutional law to ban books that have LGBTQ characters.
One Florida school system, Lake County, which includes about 60 public schools, has banned "And Tango Makes Three," according to Popular Information's Judd Legum. The award-winning children's book is based on the true story of two gay male Central Park Zoo penguins who adopt an egg and raise the baby penguin as their own.
There is nothing sexual about the book.
Popular Information quotes DeSantis defending his discriminatory "Don't Say Gay" law, officially titled the Parental Rights in Education Act."
