The Florida Department of Education mandates that sex education must focus solely on abstinence and prohibits discussing contraception, restricting local districts' educational discretion.
State officials have instructed, "Pictures of external sexual/reproductive anatomy should not be included in any grade level" and emphasized that contraceptives may not be covered in instructional content.
Local control over sex education materials has been stripped, as the FLDOE now requires all plans to be approved by the state and limits topics significantly.
The removal of topics such as anal, oral, and vaginal sex from educational discussions has been underscored as essential according to the Broward County memo.
