MIAMI (AP) — The board for Florida’s largest school district rescinded a decision made last week that rejected new sex education textbooks for middle and high school students. “It is my duty, my obligation to ensure the proper operation of our school district,” Hantman said. In April, the board voted to ask the publisher to remove chapters that cover gender and sexual orientation among other topics. “The public has a right to have been noticed properly on this matter.”The school board attorney at the meeting said rescinding last week’s vote was allowed. Altman said she worried about removing content about gender identity and sexual orientation, although she understood the challenging position the board faces.
