DeSantis shoots down false narrative about bill protecting kids

 Athena Horne:

...

Donovan began by asking DeSantis about “the Parental Rights in Education [bill], what critics call the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill —”

DeSantis was having none of it and interrupted the reporter. “Does it say that in the bill?” he asked. Donovan tried to keep going, so DeSantis repeated his question.

“I’m asking …” dodged the reporter, only to have Governor Alpha realign the conversation again.

“I’m asking you to tell me what’s in the bill, because you are pushing false narratives,” said DeSantis. “It doesn’t matter what critics say.”

Donovan gamely tried another line of narrative. “It says it bans classroom instruction on sexual identity and gender orientation —”

“For who?” demanded DeSantis, before answering his own question. “For grades pre-K through three, so five-year-olds, six-year-olds, seven-year-olds. And the idea that you wouldn’t be honest about that and tell people what it actually says is why people don’t trust people like you, because you peddle false narratives.” The crowd burst into applause as DeSantis continued, “And so, we disabuse you of those narratives.”

“We’re going to make sure that parents are able to send their kid to kindergarten without having some of this stuff injected into their school curriculum,” concluded the gallant governor.

It is a typical tactic of the left to push false narratives about policies they do not like.  DeSantis is too smart to go along for that ride.
