This year, more than a third of K-12 teachers who responded to a Merrimack College Teacher Survey say they’re planning to quit within the next two years.

The Florida Department of Education has released a series of proposed rules banning the social media app and restricting “adult live performances” during field trips.

The complaint was filed by the owner of Hamburger Mary’s restaurant in Orlando, which regularly hosts drag shows that include family-friendly performances.

The latest ruling involves a lawsuit filed on behalf of two adults and two minors. An estimated 9,000 transgender people in Florida use Medicaid to fund their treatments.

Across central Florida, the 49 victims killed and dozens more survivors of the massacre at a gay-friendly nightclub were remembered with the unveiling of a 44-foot (13.4-meter) -wide mural, the ringing of church bells and an overnight vigil at the site of the Pulse club on Monday, the seventh anniversary of the tragedy.

Simone Chriss, Director of the Southern Legal Counsel’s Transgender Rights Initiative calls the ruling a “strong affirmation of trans folks, of their experiences and of the healthcare they need to survive.”

The DeSantis administration is urging a federal judge to toss out a constitutional challenge to a new law that bars children from attending "adult live" performances.

This school year brought more book bans in Florida than almost any other state, according to an analysis by the free expression advocacy group PEN America.

$200,000 has been donated since January to GoFundMe fundraisers started by trans people seeking to leave Florida, according to data from the platform.

Transgender patients say their doctors have been holding off on prescribing treatments as they wait for new consent forms. Medical boards are proposing to allow them to continue for now.
