🎯A spokesperson for Gov. Ron DeSantis Christina Pushaw believes Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill has been labeled wrong by liberals and should be "more accurately described as an Anti-Grooming Bill."
"The bill has nothing to do with LGBTQ people. You invented that angle when you falsely called it “Don’t say gay” despite the fact that the word “gay” isn’t in the bill. Now, why do you think it’s appropriate to teach 3-8-year-olds about sex?" Pushaw tweeted on Sunday.
The Republican-backed Parental Rights in Education bill states that "classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3." Parents could sue school districts for violations.
Florida's House of Representatives passed the bill on Thursday. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has also signaled his support of the bill.

⛽️ Average gas prices top $4 per gallon for the first time since ‘08
According to AAA, the national average hit 4.009 cents on Sunday, just over 10 cents short of the $4.114 standard recorded in July 2008. Since Saturday, prices have jumped roughly 9 cents and 47 cents since Russia’s invasion began.
California had the highest average at $5.288 per gallon, and Missouri the lowest at $3.599. New York’s average was $4.207.
Lawmakers have called on the Biden administration to ban Russian gas and oil imports in response to the Ukraine invasion. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Friday that President Biden is “looking at options” — but only if it can be done without raising gas prices.

😷 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently loosened its mask guidance for most places, including schools and school buses. Here are the latest rules for the D.C. area.
Virginia lawmakers passed legislation making masking optional in schools effective March 1. Maryland officials followed late last month when a legislative committee approved the state education board’s decision to allow local school districts to decide their mask policies.
Within the metro area, D.C. Public Schools, along with the Montgomery and Prince George’s school systems, are continuing to require indoor masking for now.
The CDC revisions came as many school districts, including local districts, were already dropping masks mandates as parents pushed for a return to normalcy.

🎥 “The Batman” took in a massive $128.5 million at theaters in the United States and Canada over the weekend, demonstrating the staying power of one of Hollywood’s most overworked superheroes and marking an end — cinema owners hope — to studio experimentation with movie release patterns.
“This is an excellent opening,” said David A. Gross, a film consultant who publishes a subnoscription newsletter on box office numbers.
“The Batman,” which cost an estimated $200 million to make, not including marketing costs, marks a return to exclusive theatrical distribution by Warner Bros., which spent the last year releasing films simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max.
