Parental Rights in Education Bill Passes Florida Senate | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Parental Rights in Education bill passed Florida's Senate and is now awaiting Governor Ron DeSantis' signature. The bill, which critics call the Don't Say Gay bill, will prohibit teaching about sexual orientation to children in kindergarten through third grade. Senior Research Fellow for the Heritage Foundation's DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society, Jay Richards, joins to talk more about this bill and whether it is as radical as it is being presented. The White House reacted to the Florida bill, with Press Secretary Jen Psaki saying, "It's discriminatory, it's a form of bullying, it is horrific." Richards shares his reaction to that. On another note, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott ordered the Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate if some gender treatments, such as hormone blockers, should be considered child abuse. The appeals court sided with the family of a transgender teen. The senior research fellow fills us in on what more he knows. Richards discusses whether he expects Texas to continue to advocate for protecting children in this way. Don't miss out on the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
