These two Florida bills are a step in the right direction.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

With the Stop Woke Act and the unfairly labeled Don't Say Gay Bill,

the Florida legislature is ordering state-run schools to adjust their curriculum and respond to the will of parents.

The U.S. Secretary of Education in a strong response threatened the state to follow federal interpretations of Title

and civil rights law or risk federal funding. It's not the first time the White House has used

federal fundings as leverage to get what it wants from Florida. Didn't work then, probably won't

now. The fundamental question here is whose job is it to educate? Increasingly, the state has not

only claimed that task, it's sought to actively

keep parents out of that task, especially when it comes to controversial social issues like race

or sexuality. Now, the state does have a place and purpose ordained by God. So does the church,

so does the family. But the family's not designed to be the church. The church is not designed

to be the state. And the state shouldn't be teaching its worldview to our children. For the Colson Center,
