Florida Lawmakers Want Students to Take Financial Literacy Course Before Graduating High School

AtomicPiss

Florida lawmakers unanimously approved a bill on Feb. 23 that would require high school students to take and pass a financial literacy course before graduating.

Seriously, that’s a great idea.

I've heard that come up locally and it's dismissed as being racist.

Sadly, I believe it. Kids really need help in this area. Start them out with the tools they need and many will realize financial independence. The left cannot stand this. They rely on a dependent class to retain power.

Do they really need to know how to create a budget? Next, you will be expecting students to understand a credit score, the rule of compound interest, the actual cost of debt. Then what? An understanding of return on investment? Geezus, the insanity of these white supremacists. Let's stick to the basics like getting a state ID and logging on to a computer.

They also passed a law banning talking about sexual orientation. I can’t wait for you free speech warriors to get ahold of this.

"Creating boundaries at an early age of what is appropriate in our schools, when we are funding our schools, is not hate," Harding said. "It’s actually providing boundaries, and it’s fair to our teachers and our school districts to know what we expect."

Harding has repeatedly stressed that the bill would not prohibit students from talking about their LGBTQ families or classroom discussions about LGBTQ history, including events such as the 2016 attack on the Pulse nightclub, a gay club in Orlando.

Good. Schools and parents set the curriculum

Run against it. It worked in Virginia

Can't wait for you who love to restrict speech have a problem with it

We’re not banning speech, we’re creating boundaries.

A new low.

Horrific.

“Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.”

I can see why this would offend a person who is aghast that someone would suggest giving a child sex hormones is wrong.

How is it banning speech….in your own words

Again, you just read the headline.

And why are you against financial literacy….oh wait, nevermind, don’t need it when you’re dependent on the government.

“A school district may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students”

Parents “may bring action against a school district to obtain a declaratory judgement that a school district procedure or practice violates this paragraph and seek injunctive relief. A court may award damages…”

Oh you thought it was going to be very specific language and not so wildly vague that any students parents can now sue for any discussion around gender and orientation that they view as not age appropriate?

They already understand credit scores. They're racist. There is no debt, the government should just forgive it.

Someone starts a thread about a positive topic, wokester feels the need to engage in whataboutism.

Kobe is OUTRAGED that there isn't more trannie talk with 2nd graders. Or are you so fucking ignorant that you don't know what the "primary grade levels" are Kobe? Go ahead Kobe, tell us why 1st graders should be discussing sexual orientation you fucking freak.
