<p style="font-weight: 400;">The majority of Americans support a ban on teaching young children about sexual orientation and transgender issues in public schools, a new poll has found.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The latest survey shows broad support for a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-signs-parental-notification-bill-shrugs-off-dont-say-gay-uproar">new Florida law</a>, which became a culture war flashpoint pitting Republicans and family groups against major corporations and celebrities. Disney joined the public opposition to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signing the &#8220;Parental Rights in Education Bill,&#8221; which says a “school district may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels,” and only in an age-appropriate manner in subsequent grades. (Disclosure: The Daily Wire has announced plans for kids entertainment content.)</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Golden/TIPP poll, completed on April 8, finds that Americans are <a href="https://tippinsights.com/americans-back-floridas-dont-say-gay-bill-golden-tipp-poll/">nearly twice as likely</a> to support the law than to oppose it. A total of 57% of Americans agreed with the legislation, while only 31% said they disagreed.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Interestingly, a majority, irrespective of party affiliations and ideologies, backed the bill, except for liberals,” the pollsters said. Republicans (73%), Democrats (51%), and independents (54%) agreed with the law’s parameters. Self-described “liberals” split, with 42% backing the new law and 53% opposing it.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Some left-of-center personalities have said the new law does not go far enough to protect children from controversial and disputed sexual and gender ideologies in the classroom. “When I first heard about Florida’s Parental Rights bill, I was shocked it only protects children K-3,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shocked-it-only-protects-children-until-third-grade-tulsi-gabbard-reacts-to-florida-parental-rights-law">said</a> former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), a 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful. “Third grade? How about 12th grade — or not at all.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The Golden/TIPP poll shows public acceptance of the law increasing since mid-March, when 50% of Americans publicly said they opposed teaching K-3 children about sexual and gender identity in a <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000017f-9034-d137-abff-f0f410670000">Politico/Morning Consult poll</a>.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">It also confirms a survey performed by Lucid on behalf of The Daily Wire and released in March, which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-poll-over-60-of-americans-back-floridas-limits-on-k-3-lessons-on-sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity">found 64% of Americans support</a> the Florida child protection legislation — including 62% of Democrats and 57% of registered independents.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Black voters were slightly more likely than white voters to support Governor DeSantis’ legislation.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The trio of polls seem to refute claims by the bill’s corporate detractors and the LGBT movement that these educational limits lack popular support. For instance, Disney heiress Abigail Disney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/disney-heiress-rants-anti-woke-right-has-finally-run-amok-calls-activist-rufo-little-punk">said</a> “most Americans are offended by” the bill “and wish it would just go away.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Other liberals said the bill insulted the intelligence of Florida’s children. “As a former teacher, I want to make it clear that these <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/children-are-more-smarter-than-ron-desantis-education-policies-democratic-teacher-turned-senator">children are more smarter</a> [sic] than we think they are,” Florida State Senator Shevrin Jones (D) told MSNBC’s Joy Reid in January.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Jones’ fellow Democrats and some in the legacy media branded the measure as a controversial “Don’t Say Gay” bill, something TIPP called “a branding disaster.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Most Americans told Golden/TIPP pollsters they found it inappropriate and inaccurate to call the Parental Rights in Education law — which never uses the term “gay” and does not prohibit the use of the word — a “Don’t Say Gay” bill. The poll found independents and moderates most likely to find the term misleading.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Democrats in Florida, Hollywood celebrities, President Biden, and others leveraged the inappropriate nomenclature to mount opposition,” pollsters said. “The moral here is that Americans can see through the spin.”</p>
