UPDATE: ESPN’s Elle Duncan, who accused Sage Steele of not being black enough, says it’s unfair to families that teachers can’t discuss sexual orientation with young children.
In addition, ESPN has not responded to several requests for comment from OutKick.
Elle Duncan, who's angry that teachers can't talk about sex and transgenderism with 6-year olds, has no comment on a man dominating the NCAA women’s swimming competition.

Friday, two ESPN broadcasters took a moment of silence during the NCAA Women’s Tournament in protest of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, known as “Don’t Say Gay.”
Take a look:
Today during the Women's NCAA Tournament, ESPN's Carolyn Peck and Courtney Lyle remained silent for two minutes in opposition of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill.

In the meantime, staffers at Disney, ESPN’s parent company, are staging walkouts over the matter. Disney Chief Bob Chapek even apologized to the woke for not condemning the bill hard enough last week.
So Disney is leading the pushback. You’d think from reading this that the bill must be either vile or discriminatory. Nope, it’s neither.
The so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill requires that teachers don’t discuss sexual orientation and gender identity with children in third grade and younger. That’s it.
However, the Democrats and the press say the bill is homophobic and transphobic. Therefore, wokesters like these two women are against it, and thus now support teachers sexually indoctrinating very young children.
Last week, Florida and governor Ron DeSantis responded to public protests, saying:
“Here’s what I can tell you, in the state of Florida, we are not going to allow them to inject transgenderism into kindergartens.
“First graders shouldn’t have woke gender ideology imposed in their curriculums, and that is what we’re standing for because we’re standing for the kids and we’re standing for the parents.
“The chance that I am going to back down on my commitment to students and back down from my commitment to parents’ rights simply because of fraudulent media narratives or pressure from woke corporations, the chances of that are zero.”
What a bill to protest against, let alone during a college basketball game. ESPN should be ashamed.
How gay can you get?
Not enough to them.
Disgusting takes from disgusting people. And is that you calling it that Bobby? It has nothing to do with gay or straight. It’s about the role of teachers. They have no business having these discussions with children. I don’t think the bill goes far enough. It should be banned period. That’s the role of a parent. If parents want to outsource that, they can pay to go to a private school.
And fuck Disney and ESPN. How many Disney employees were caught up in the latest pedophile roundup in Florida? That says it all.
Funny how this is the bill they will take stand on but won’t say a word about a man destroying women swimming.
I”M sick of these perverts SEXUALIZING kids. I don’t care if it’s gay or straight of masturbatory.. F***ING STOP IT!
ESPN is part of Disney, who is proudly a Pedophilic organization, so we have to expect this in our “sports.”
Hahaha. They took their moment of silence at halftime during a 44-4 game?!?! That’s perfect! What needs to be said?!?!
Amen!
fucking espn is liberal garbage.
Yes sir I ditched it years ago highly recommend doing likewise
Why stop at two minutes, maybe they should protest by shutting the fuck up forever.
Our southern border being invaded by illegal hoards war in Ukraine inflation out of control and this is what these dumb mfer are concerned about America were in a very bad place
Well said
And no one was watching anyway. This article was probably read by more people than the game.
How about teaching 5 and 6 year olds to read and write and simple addition and subtraction? When they’re old enough they’ll figure out themselves what gay, lesbo and trans means. It’s really straight up sexual predator shit for a teacher to have this conversation with a 6 year old.
1) these people are morons who have no idea what’s in the bill. 2) ESPN sucks. 3) nobody watched their broadcast. 4) I thought the new marching orders at ESPN were no politics.
Just another reason not to subscribe to anything Disney or ESPN. “Just say no” with your $$$ to all the bullshit. If the game is on ESPN+, go support your local sports bar and give them your money.
Disney is undoubtedly the company with the most pedophiles on the planet… and they don’t try to hide it,.
Man, these fucking people are sick. What do 6-8 year olds know about sexuality? Kids that age shouldn’t even be thinking about that shit until they are emotionally ready to handle it. I didn’t think about that when I was that age. God almighty, this country is in trouble.
