Despite the national uproar over Florida’s Parental Rights in Education — or the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” — bill a new poll is showing that many Florida Democratic primary voters may have a different opinion of it.
A poll by Floridians for Economic Advancement found that slightly more than half of likely Democratic primary voters support the contents of the legislation.
When asked if they believe students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade should be taught about sexual orientation, 20% of respondents said “somewhat no,” while 32% said “definitely no.”
Meanwhile, 18% said “somewhat yes,” while another 18% said “definitely yes.”
As NBC News’ Marc Caputo noted, Florida Democratic lawmakers opposed the legislation and “made it a top messaging priority.”
As NBC News explains, “The measure bans ‘classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity’ in Kindergarten through third grade.”
