All districts are now required to promote abstinence, exclude consent, and remove any pictures of reproductive organs.

The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) has ordered local school districts to submit their sex education plans to the state for approval. The FLDOE has also said the classes must promote abstinence and cannot include discussion of contraception or pictures of reproductive health organs.

The sex-ed takeover removes local discretion when it comes to district sex education classes and materials.

Ah yes, more "protecting the children"* to pander to an angry and stupid electorate.

* "Protecting the children" is a phrase used here to mean, "ensuring the next generation of an angry and stupid electorate."

To pander to the segment of the electorate DeSantis thinks is going to reelect him.

He needs to get the state legislature to revoke their term limits before he can be reelected.
