On Friday's broadcast of C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten stated that bills like Florida's Parental Rights in Education law are "stopping us, chilling us as teachers from meeting the needs of kids, kids who come to us who may be a trans kid or trying to decide what his, her, or their sexual identity is." And Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is worried about teachers "actually trying to help kids see who they are and have the freedom to learn and the freedom to be." Weingarten further said she prefers such discussions "get done in an age-appropriate way in a school under the guidance of a teacher who knows what he, she, or they is doing as opposed to it being done on the Internet."
