Bill seeks to restrict public school instruction on human sexuality, STDs and related topics to grades 6 through 12
Legislation moving in the Florida House would ban discussion of menstrual cycles and other human sexuality topics in elementary grades.
“So if little girls experience their menstrual cycle in 5th grade or 4th grade, will that prohibit conversations from them since they are in the grade lower than sixth grade?” asked state Rep. Ashley Gantt, a Democrat who taught in public schools and noted that girls as young as 10 can begin having periods.The GOP-backed legislation cleared the House Education Quality Subcommittee on Wednesday by a 13-5 vote mainly along party lines.
