Under Florida's House Bill, 1467 schoolbooks must be reviewed by a district employee holding a valid educational media specialist certificate to ensure they're free of pornography or certain race-based teachings. "In Florida, our parents have every right to be involved in their child's education. We are not going to let politicians deny parents the right to know what is being taught in our schools. I'm proud to sign this legislation that ensures curriculum transparency," said Governor Ron DeSantis, on his website. Additionally, kindergarten to third-grade classroom books must be free of instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity. www.cbsnews.com February 18, 2023 Kindergarten => cole maternelle / third grade => CE2
