All districts are now required to promote abstinence, exclude consent, and remove any pictures of reproductive organs.

The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) has ordered local school districts to submit their sex education plans to the state for approval. The FLDOE has also said the classes must promote abstinence and cannot include discussion of contraception or pictures of reproductive health organs.

The sex-ed takeover removes local discretion when it comes to district sex education classes and materials.

      It’s beyond apparent they want women locked into abusive marriages again. If they could get away with it they’d be rolling back their abilities to use banks, get a driver’s license, or even work without the consent of their husband.
