Fox News has spent the last several days lighting their Remax-agent-in-the-’90s hair on fire over Disney’s opposition to a new Florida law. Opponents call the law the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, while backers call it the “If You’re Against It, You’re a Pedo” measure. Disney — which is as integral to Florida culture as college football or getting hurt while doing a YouTube stunt — has spoken out against the bill. That prompted this response from Fox & Friends — I recommend starting the clip with Brian Kilmeade’s rant at the 2:30 mark, because you lose two IQ points for every minute that you watch this shit.

Despite Kilmeade’s rock-solid argument that the bill is “smart” because it comes from the Florida state legislature’s Republican caucus — that fabled haunt of philosopher kings! — I think this is an extremely bad law. Its backers are trying to invoke the specter of a hyper-woke kindergarten teacher illuminating the dark corners of alternative lifestyles — I picture an apple-cheeked Teach for America volunteer pointing to a poster that says “Bukkake Etiquette in a Gender-Fluid Octo-cule.” In reality, the law would prohibit all sorts of reasonable classroom interactions, or at least it might — embroil yourself in a soul-crushing lawsuit to find out! Kilmeade distills the bill’s warped thinking with this statement:

“If you’re talking about sex and sexuality to kindergartners, first graders, second graders, and third graders — think about that! — who’s got the other side of that issue? Please, define it well and say: You need your kindergartner talking about sex.”
