I can see how you inferred that but honestly, I added it for emphasis. Instruction <> introducing me as husband.

Agree that law can be vague but don't think that is too unusual. The law will be tested in courts and it'll be discarded/finetuned.

Also, this is not a school board call. This is up to me as a parent. If I decide that a human being who identifies as a woman can't describe her heterosexual relationship to a human being who identifies as a man using the term husband in front of the third graders. I can report that in the same way another parent may decide that another teacher who is identifies as a man can't identify their homosexual relationship with a human being who identifies as a man using the term husband.

Fine. Parents complain all the time. If parent report my wife, she gets fired for supposed cause, I'd still call Morgan & Morgan. In this specific situation, I find it very unlikely she'll get fired.

If this was about the sense of "reasonableness", the bill would never have been written much less passed. We have been having discussion with 3rd graders about sexual orientation and gender identity since school was created. 3rd graders and younger know husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends (I am sure my son wasn't the only one who the teacher said had "a little girlfriend" when they were in kindergarten. What was that all about?), men and women, moms and dad, boys and girls and GASP! THE
PRONOUNS. Why have those things suddenly become "woke"?

This may have been true for your school, but it certainly wasn't for my school (but mine was a long time ago and overseas anyway). For my kids that went to school here, I don't remember when or ages, but do remember multiple times that parents were informed whenever there would be discussion about sex (and prob other sensitive matters) and were allowed to excuse their kids from those discussions.

I'm actually okay continuing that way. Want to talk about same sex relationships or about LGBTQ+ or about heterosexuals sexual relationships in school for 3rd graders and below, fine. Just give parents notice ahead of time to opt out. Anyone know if FL public schools do that consistently?
