    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

    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.

    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.

    Kobe wants schools to be prohibited from saying things he doesn't like such as there are two genders

    Nothing to see here

    Parents and the school bored can decide what to teach

    The left knows this killed them in Virginia yet here they are

    Get it yet?

    You can run around claiming your switch hitting identity all you want but it doesn't belong in schools. Now fuck off moron!

    Since you're in favor of grade school children having their sex parts mutilated, it doesn't surprise me that you're in favor of sexual orientation being taught to these same kids. We are mostly talking about Kindergarten to 6th graders. Which makes you one sick son of a bitch.

    There is no reason for a public school teacher to ever be discussing sexual orientation with an 8 year old yet Kobe the fucking freak, who I'll guarantee you has no kids, thinks it's perfectly fine and acceptable.

    Can we just keep all of the leftist lunatics out of FL and TX? We're debating where to spend our golden years and we don't want any trash around us.
