The Left and their media allies are smearing the provisions in Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill (HB 1557) by spreading misconceptions and flat-out lies about the bill.

The truth is that moms and dads—not teachers and school administrators—know their children best. HB 1557 simply provides much-needed transparency in public schools and puts parents back at the helm of their kids’ education, giving them the tools to decide what is best for their own children.

Here are the facts:

MYTH 1: Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill bans the word “gay” in schools.

MYTH 2: HB 1557 forces teachers to “out” students.

MYTH 3: HB 1557 will open the door to frivolous lawsuits against school districts.
