What is Reddit's opinion of Prince & Knight?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Then I suspect you missed the intent. Here's the actual bill.
Start here:

>...adopt procedures for notifying a

69 student's parent if there is a change in the student's services

70 or monitoring related to the student's mental, emotional, or

71 physical health or well-being and the school's ability to

72 provide a safe and supportive learning environment for the

73 student.

With

>2. A school district may not adopt procedures or student

83 support forms that prohibit school district personnel from

84 notifying a parent about his or her student's mental, emotional,

85 or physical health or well-being, or a change in related

86 services or monitoring, or that encourage or have the effect of

87 encouraging a student to withhold from a parent such

88 information. School district personnel may not discourage or

89 prohibit parental notification of and involvement in critical

90 decisions affecting a student's mental, emotional, or physical

91 health or well-being.

In the context of the bill basically says that the school must "out" LGBT students to their parents. That's not okay. That is not safe.

Then we get to this:

​

>3. Classroom instruction by school personnel or third

98 parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur

99 in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age
100 appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards.

Two points: instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity at this age level is "so-and-so has two daddies or two mommies" or "used to be a mommy and is now a daddy instead". It's not graphic sexual discussion, and never was.

Second point: "or in a manner that is not age appropriate..." means that "grade 3" is a fig leaf. This is the condition: ....may not occur (in kindergarten through grade 3) OR (manner that is not age appropriate according to undefined state standards). Ergo: never. Grade 12? Sorry, not to state standards.

Next up is the chilling effect. A lot of this is "school must send out forms for review in advance of sending out forms" and "the school shall hire legal counsel and pay for it, within a very tight time period, in the event of a complaint, as it relates to gender and sexuality". It is cheaper and easier just to skip the topic altogether - there is no penalty for not addressing the topic.

Finally, while the bill says "sexuality and gender" I can assure you that they mean LGBT sexualities/genders. They won't have Prince & Knight board books for kids, because that teaches about same-sex attraction. But they absolutely will have Cinderella and Snow White and a myriad of other "classic" opposite-sex attraction books, examples and instruction.

Prince and Knight by Daniel Haack has a simple princess and dragon type story but with the Prince being saved by a Knight, they fall in love and get married. https://www.amazon.com/Prince-Knight-Mini-Board-Books/dp/1499810954/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1615531313&sr=8-1

Julián Is a Mermaid by Jessica Love is about a boy named Julian who wants to 'be a mermaid' like the beautiful (I believe drag queens) he sees on the bus. The illustrations are just gorgeous. https://www.amazon.com/Juli%C3%A1n-Mermaid-Jessica-Love/dp/0763690457/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DT4AHYETMW1F&dchild=1&keywords=julian+is+a+mermaid&qid=1615531453&sprefix=julian+is%2Caps%2C214&sr=8-1
