(John Ransom, Headline USA) Critics are claiming that a recent ABC News poll that said that Americans opposed a Republican-backed law in Florida aimed at keeping sexual discussions away from the youngest students, was manipulated by ABC in order to assist in the defeat of the anti-child-grooming bill.
Fox said that ABC News deliberately failed to mention in its survey that the age provisions in the bill are simply targeted at the youngest students, not at older students. And, said Fox, the poll oversampled gay voters, further skewing the results.
The bill is being painted by leftists as an attempt to discriminate against gay people, but in fact it’s only designed to prevent the increasing indoctrination of the youngest of students– aged five to eight– in sexual matters that are well above their ability to understand.
The Daily Wire conducted a national poll on Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education” bill, dubbed “Don’t Say Gay.”
The 1,000 person sample was 37% D, 32% R, 31% I, and +4 Biden in the 2020 ballot, consistent with official totals.

“But the purpose of the bill, to keep wokeism and crazed sexual teachings away from children 5 to 8 years old, is one we should all support, especially since this kind of nonsense has already infiltrated the education system,” said the Washington Examiner.
To support the criticisms by Fox, two more recent, separate polls found that Americans supported the bill, one by a narrow margin, the other by an overwhelming margin.
“Just over half of voters support provisions of the Florida bill that would limit lessons on sexual orientation and gender identity after third grade to ‘age appropriate’ discussions (52 percent) and ban the teaching of both topics from kindergarten through third grade (51 percent),” according to a Morning Consult survey of 2,005 registered voters.
A Daily Wire survey, which was based on the results of the 2020 presidential election, found that 64% of Americans supported the bill.
“This polling reflects what our common sense already tells us,” Florida House Speaker Chris Sprowls told the Daily Wire
“Only fanatics think the classroom curriculum from kindergarten through 3rd grade should include teaching little children about gender identity.”
