In Escambia County, Florida, a mother named Brenda Leggett raised concerns about non-binary content in her child’s homework at Bellview Elementary School. The assignment, featuring a story about a non-binary gamer with a disability, was given over Spring Break. Leggett believes the content conflicts with her religious beliefs and cited the Florida Parental Rights in Education Law, which restricts discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity in early grades. She prohibited her daughter from completing the homework, fearing punishment for non-compliance. Leggett filed a complaint with the school, and Superintendent Keith Leonard confirmed an investigation is underway. She also contacted state political leaders, including Governor Ron DeSantis’ office.
