All districts are now required to promote abstinence, exclude consent, and remove any pictures of reproductive organs.
The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) has ordered local school districts to submit their sex education plans to the state for approval. The FLDOE has also said the classes must promote abstinence and cannot include discussion of contraception or pictures of reproductive health organs.

“Class, today I direct you to talk about sex and then step out in the hall. If I am not present, I can’t get in trouble if you learn things certain governors don’t want you to learn about.”
