- A Florida high school required parents to sign a permission slip to let their kids watch "Tangled."
- DeSantis' Parental Rights in Education law requires permission slips for school-sponsored events.
- One parent said the influx of permission slips is getting "out of control" and "burdensome.
A Central Florida high school required parents to sign a permission slip for students to watch a Disney film, prompting some to suggest Gov. Ron DeSantis' education laws are excessive.
Sophomore students attending Boone High School decided to celebrate Valentine's Day last week by hosting a "Rom-com movie night" on the football field after classes ended, according to WFTV , an ABC affiliate in Orlando. The teens voted to watch "Tangled," a PG-rated animated film.
It was an innocuous school-sanctioned event that would have caused little stir in the past.
But the new Parental Rights in Education law championed by DeSantis has now saddled such activities with red tape. Under the law, parents must fill out a permission slip before any school-sponsored event.

I heard a rumor that their is a naked mouse in the movie.
wussolini's anti-woke bullshit is starting to look like a maga take on communism...
It's becoming a fiasco here in Florida.
gee, good thing we have the maga to protect us from disney movies...
and don't forget the naked mice they are protecting us from.
Damn shame. Back in my youth loved to dive and party in the Keys. Key West was one of my favorite places on the planet. Haven't been there in decades. Due to the politics in Florida now, might not ever go there again.
24 years ago last month was when I was there last. I don't drink like that anymore...
Arvo...really??..Politics would actually define where you would or wouldn't go for a holiday??
You mob are cactus..
meh, I only travel where I can take my guns. you never know when the thumper uprising will begin... /s
I usually spend the winters in a goober state.
Mickey wears pants, doesn't he?
he does now, since they started calling him steamboat willy for the wrong reason...
Donald Duck still doesn't wear pants!
he can't pull them over his feet...
that's no excuse
glad you caught that. for some reason it's a lot more difficult for me to cut and paste pictures off the web. wtf?
Not sure how many years ago it was but a barracuda followed me and made aggressive moves. The only time I was ever scared on a dive. (45 yrs. ago or so).
Ever since, all my dive gear has been flat black. Shiny shit attracts predators.
My Kel Tec P3AT with 9+1 is always on my hip.
Don't drink like a teen anymore myself.
Still drive the barely street legal cars though.
It's either one or the other.
good idea. thumpers are getting froggy...
... waiting for trump, to tell them to jump.
Do they need a signed parental permission slip to make the students watch Prager B.S. propaganda?
LMAO, probably not, G.
If I was a parent in Florida, I would not want my kids exposed to that crap.
that's where these school districts are missing the boat. since maga trash are usually unable to write laws that can't also be used against them, create general opt-in/out permission slips for public schools that put thumpers in the judicial crosshairs. then press hard when they're violated by rwnj teachers and administrators. public schools fold up like lawn chairs under the threat of lawsuits.
Grew up in Kansas and all we had to worry about as kids were the Iowa Basics Standardized Tests which only challenged room temperature IQs.
As easy as Trump remembering what a lion looks like.
What is supposed to be wrong with Tangled, other than offending snowflake DeSantis's tender ego by being Disney property?
Well, first there might be a mouse, a naked one at that somewhere in the movie, the theater or in DeSantis house.
Next is the ''woke'' laws regarding kids/parents/desantis which says that for all school-sponsored events the school must obtain a permission slip from the parents.
Next the kids will need a signed parental slip to go to the lavatory, but that could entail a number of ''accidents''...
I'm just still trying to wrap my head around a mouse being naked!!!!
Did they show its tiny little pee pee?!
Those Disney folk just don't care who they offend!
LOL
all the characters are taller than him...
... and a lot more likeable.
He tried out for he Seven Dwarfs but was rejected and renamed, ''His Shortness''.
disney thought his character "sleazy" sounded too close to sneezy...
Desantis Is too short to even ride the rides.
At five feet nuthin', I resemble that remark. Also, I'm pretty sure both he and I are taller than the chameleon.
LMAO, you are a giant among NT members, sandy. Be careful the chameleon has been taking growth pills.
Where can I get my hands on some of those?
do you make your patients lie on the floor, or do you use a step ladder? jk. like shoes and clothing, men's and women's sizes are different. 5' male = short, 5' woman = fun size.
The chair adjusts pretty low, but sometimes I have to stand to reach.
"do you make your patients lie on the floor, or do you use a step ladder?"
Do NOT give her any ideas like that!
I'll give you a blanket!
meh, I was going to post a picture of some shoes with 10 inch heels, but I caught myself before I did...
I really hate when that happens...
I also found some very tasteful 5" open toe white wedges that could work in a medical environment, but I know you really want to see those platforms with the 10" spikes, don't you...
bad boy
whatcha gonna do...
yeah, what was I thinking. ... and I was doing so well managing the number of tickets and points so far this month. oh well...
Back away from the Moderator slowly
pffft, you know me better than that...
Disney should have copyrighted that one.
(for a player to be named at a later date)
And don't forget the Chinese way of sizing.
Took awhile to figure that out in my martial art store.
You don't want that shit!
You are perfect the way you are!
Some of the school districts have taken the law to mean that ALL extra curricular gatherings must have permission slips.
... fear of lawsuits. and now along with the added bonus of media, death threats, and career loss...
MAGA are big on death threats against anybody they disagree with.
Past time to put those death threaters in prison.
Sad that Murdoch and Fox gave Morons a voice.
The law is so badly written that most all the schools districts have asked for the fearless or freckless leaders of our fine state to clarify it. Manny Diaz the head ding dong in the educaion systems hasn't been able to put anything together for a year, he can't find his dictionary since his secutary removed it from his office because it had pornographic words in it.

Yeah... that's what I've read. It's a real shit show down there.
home of shit show royalty...
That it is, whoa flying turds again.
Because of the vulnerabilities galvanized by years of racist, antisemitic, xenophobic right-wing media propaganda, Putin has, with a useful idiot Trump & a GOP compliant clown car, convinced resentful, ignorant whites that killing democracy is in their best interests.
What? Like breast?
child porn.
ie: the old testament...
Except for the hurricanes, politics, tourists, rednecks and lethal critters, have always enjoyed Florida.
Diving the reefs, Air-boating in the Glades, Partying and sunsets/sunrises in Key West, The NASA tours, Watching rocket launches, white sand beaches and tanned beach babes. All good things!
The only thing y'all don't have is mountains. I do love the Rockies!
Sorry, I meant to say moronic fascists.
Recall that back in the 60s we needed permission slips.
Even if it was a field trip to the Topeka Goodyear tire plant or the stockyards in the KC bottoms.
If the laws need clarification then they should be clarified. I have to wonder what the schools were showing the kids that made the government think they needed a law to protect them. It makes sense in todays world when in doubt go overboard until clarification is given.
I seem to recall getting permission slips to sign all the time. I don't seem to recall getting my panties in a bunch every time I had to.
Yet they haven't been after numerous requests.
republicans purposely write laws that are ambiguous...
Truth be told, so did the founders.
Maybe they were smart enough to know that time was a factor.
Oh what a tangled web we weave....
Even if our intent is not to deceive....
Well, there you go. The school is acting in accordance with the law. Seems some have issue with following the law.
