Rep. Waltz hits back after Psaki calls Florida parental rights law 'harsh'
Fox News
Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., said on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday that teaching young children about sexuality should be handled at home.
REP. MICHAEL WALTZ: We should not be teaching sexuality to 5-year-olds, to pre-kindergartners, to first-graders, second-graders. It's just unacceptable. That kind of issue, even if it would come up – I know you're you're a dad, Pete. So am I – I don't see that coming up with 5, 6, 7-year-olds. But to the extent it does, that needs to be handled at home, number one.
Number two: Right now, the United States is sitting 31st in the world in math, and I believe ninth or tenth in reading. Let's teach reading and writing to our kindergartners through first-graders. And, at the core of this, is parents taking their children's education back. This is a parental bill of rights in terms of taking charge of their education in Florida. And that's what this bill is going to do. And it's supported by a majority of Floridians.
