There's a new front line in America's culture wars, and it's pitching parents against teachers and students.
Florida has introduced a ban on teaching about gender and sexuality in the classroom to some elementary aged children.
It's a fight that has even dragged the most American of companies, Disney, into the fray.
The Parental Rights bill, 1557, was signed into law by Florida's Governor, Ron DeSantis, a vocal supporter of President Trump and a potential candidate for President himself in 2024.
Supporters say it puts control back into the hands of parents and is a response to a surge in, what they call, "woke" lessons on LGBT+ issues.
After huge pressure from its workforce, Disney came out against the bill and so attracted the fury of Republicans - once the cheerleaders of big business and corporate America.
