THE NSTUTNAL PROBLEM WH FLORIDA’S “DON’T SAY GAY” BILL

In the likely event that Florida’s Parental Rights Edutn bill — the legislatn wily known as the “Don’t Say Gay” proposal — be law, no one actually knows the full extent of the behavrs forbids.
” If Keyishian remas good law — and there is no guarantee that the US Supreme Court’s Republin supermajory will apply Keyishian fairly to an anti-LGBTQ law — then Florida’s Don’t Say Gay bill do not clear this bar. The Don’t Say Gay bill, by ntrast, would take effect on July 1 if signed — one year before requir the Edutn Department to update s standards to provi guidance on how to ply wh the bill. The Don’t Say Gay bill also an enforcement scheme remiscent of Texas’s SB 8 abortn ban: Unr the bill, parents n brg private lawsus agast school districts that vlate the ban.
Settg asi the qutn of whether any Florida teacher has actually told a stunt to wa to “pick your genr, ” the Don’t Say Gay bill do a whole lot more than simply require teachers to provi more rmatn to parents.

Fally, and most signifintly for the future of the Don’t Say Gay bill, an unnstutnally vague statute may be rcued if urts or other bodi wh the power to terpret a statute narrow s meang and offer addnal clary about what sort of behavr forbids. Florida’s urts, other words, might rcue the Don’t Say Gay bill om a lawsu claimg is unnstutnally vague by providg clear fns for terms like “classroom stctn” and “age appropriate” that would allow a person “of mon telligence” to terme what sort of stctn is allowed and what kd of stctn is forbidn.
The state Edutn Department uld potentially do so as well, when gets around to updatg s standards to expla how teachers n ply wh the Don’t Say Gay bill — although, aga, is possible that state urt judg will reject the standards and substute their own terpretatn of the Don’t Say Gay bill’s language. In the meantime, any parent uld potentially sue their kid’s school district if a teacher even allus to the ncept of homosexualy a classroom discsn. So even if the Florida Supreme Court effectively rewr the Don’t Say Gay bill to make nstutnal, the rewrten law uld still be que awful for LGBTQ stunts and teachers.
One other worrisome thg about the Don’t Say Gay bill is that there is no guarantee that the Supreme Court will enforce cisns like Keyishian that rtrict excsively vague laws, at least when enforcg those cisns would go agast many of the nservative jtic’ sense of moraly.
