    That is not remotely what the bill says. It just say that a school can’t fail a kid because of their religion or politics. The kid still has to do the academic work.

    https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2026/835

    (3)(a) A student may express his or her religious,58 political, or ideological beliefs in coursework, artwork, and other written and oral assignments free from discrimination oracademic penalty. A student’s homework and classroom assignments shall be evaluated, regardless of their religious, political, or ideological content, based on expected academic standards relating to the course curriculum and requirements. A student may not be penalized or rewarded based on the religious, political, or ideological content of his or her work if the coursework, artwork, or other written or oral assignments require a student’s viewpoint to be expresse

      So what happens when the student writes a sermon instead of doing the assignment, rightfully gets a 0 for not doing the assignment, and then writes to the governor and right wing media apparatuses complaining about religious discrimination?

        Well they would also need a series of Judges and a jury to also be in on the scam.

        Not saying that’s not possible in Florida, but if that’s the case then they didn’t really need to pass a new law anyway, did they?

          Or maybe, and I know this can be hard to believe, the university gets scared of baseless suits backed by powerful figures supported by disingenuous interpretations of these kinds of laws and they bow to political pressure and fire the people that gave the assignment so they don’t have to defend themselves in a costly, frivolous case?

          If that were to happen, and I know it’s a stretch and would never actually happen in the US because every civil entity here has steadfast morals based upon dignity and respect, then modifying laws that already forbid discrimination to make the language a bit more ambiguous and easier to use as a cudgel is a dangerous move targeting our educators.

            Guys, come on. How do y’all not know the conservative’s playbook by now? They only have two plays.

            1. They do really evil shit.
            2. They do rage bait shit.

            When they do evil shit they don’t hide it under 15 levels of riddles. They really aren’t smart people. Their really evil shit stuff is like “Here’s $300 billion for concentration camps with gas chambers.” They don’t hide it.

            But every single time you guys always reliably fall for their rage bait shit. Every time. They could whisper “God” and your guys lose your minds. Every time. Like clockwork.

              There’s rage bait and there’s making laws. Even if meant in jest, laws still are expected to be followed with deleterious consequences for disobedience.

              It does no one good to let evil slide just cause you think they’re messing around.

      A Republican wrote it - which means it’s either a dirty trick or will be eventually

      This story is dumb, this girl is dumb, and these cunts need to fuck off out of the classrooms they failed out of the first time around

      All that is already in effect in the actually sensible form. Therefore this bill must be about enforcing an insensible interpretation.

        Actually if you really read the bill most of the additions are concerning protecting political speech, not religious speech (which was already protected).

        So if it’s anything more than a political social media bait, then it’s about ensuring conservative kids can praise Trump, not God. (But really, it’s just bait that you guys are happy to swallow.)

          I was reading your comment with interest until you decided to act superior and insult everyone. Bye!
