  I think you're mischaracterizing. The full statement is > "content and class discussion that is sexual in nature unless it is related to a standard, such as health class" "sexual in nature" is the essential attribute that must be related to the standard. We know this for two reasons: 1) because it is specifically clarified by the phrase "such as health class" 2) because we have read the legislation in question and the Florida state Department of Education's statements on what they allow and don't allow Sexuality is not related to a standard for english class. It may be related to a standard for a health class, but health classes also don't tend to study Shakespeare. > "MacBeth", "Hamlet", and "Romeo and Juliet" are in https://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/7539/urlt/elabeststandardsfinal.pdf https://www.fldoe.org/core/fileparse.php/7539/urlt/elabestst... Which forces them to use excerpts instead of nothing at all. The Florida DoE literally just the other day handed down an edict that AP Psych classes weren't allowed to cover gender and sexual orientation, and had to be slapped by the College Board with a reminder, as if knowing this somehow isn't literally the state DoE's job, that the College Board requires it to be included for the course to count, forcing the DoE to backpedal.
