White House claims Florida's anti-grooming bill discriminates against children

During Wednesday's press briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki addressed questions about Florida's recent anti-grooming bill, that protects students in grades K-3 from activist teachers intent on bringing gender ideology into the classroom. She claimed that the bill, which protects parents' rights in from groomer educators, is discriminatory.

"In 1994, when many of us in this room were in school, President Biden [then Senator] actually voted for a much broader restriction that bans federal funds from being used for 'the promotion of homosexuality.' Is that a positive lifestyle alternative? Why did he do that? Can you describe how his thinking has evolved over the years?" Psaki was asked.

"Well, I think that you've seen the President speak passionately about his view that a bill like this, a bill that would discriminate against families, against kids, put these kids in a position of not getting the support they need at a time when that's exactly what they need," she said of the bill that ensures that schools can't keep secrets about children's mental health from their parents.
