Two Jacksonville legislators have filed bills that will bolster the Florida Legislature’s efforts to help the public understand history and current events.
Given the failures of the media and academia, those duties have passed to politicians for better or for worse.
Rep. Dean Black has introduced a bill that addresses the question of defining womanhood, which at least one Supreme Court justice is unable to do.
HB 1233 defines terms relating to the sex of an individual providing that what is on the birth certificate determines whether a person is male or female.
It also requires applications for disability ID cards, application requirements for driver licenses and ID cards to replace references to term “gender” with the term “sex.”
It prohibits the state from issuing original or replacement driver licenses or ID cards that contain specified information; requires individual health insurance policies, group health insurance policies, health benefit plans, and health maintenance contracts that provide coverage for sex-reassignment prescriptions or procedures to also provide coverage for treatment to detransition from “sex-reassignment” prescriptions or procedures; defines term “sex” for purposes of the Florida Civil Rights Act and revises provisions related to remedies for unlawful discrimination to include protection on basis of sex, rather than gender.
Liberals for several years have been trying to confuse people about basic biology and this needed legislation would help make it clear that you are either a man or a woman. You don’t choose or change. For thousands of years that was understood and then liberals for political reasons tried to revise science in the same way they seek to revise history.
As a result, we have boys in girls bathrooms and taking over women’s sports.
“With the filing of this bill we are going to confirm once and for all that sex is not about ideology, it’s about biology,” Black told Eye on Jacksonville.
Rep. Kiyah Michael addresses history revision with her bill to require history taught in Florida schools to be accurate and precise. The law already requires teaching about slavery and her bill would require schools also to identify the role of political parties in slavery and segregation.
It is called the Kamala Harris Truth in Teaching Slavery Act in honor of the current vice president of the United States, who comes from a family of slaveowners and frequently displays animus toward Americans with white skin.
It is difficult to see why any intelligent person would oppose either bill.
