Florida lawmakers earlier this week passed a bill designed to prevent the discussion of gender identity and sexuality in the classroom.

The Parental Rights in Education bill, voted on largely along party lines by Florida House committee members on Thursday, "is about defending the most awesome responsibility a person can have: being a parent," said Florida state Rep. Joe Harding, who introduced the bill, according to a report from Florida Politics.

(The problem is that parents have no influence over their children's sexual orientation or gender identity. The law just insures that children will delay coming to terms with their identity.)
