WATCH: Florida Lawmaker Warns That School Standards Will Turns Kids Gay

A set of federal educational standards from the Obama administration, called Common Core, will turn your children gay, says a Florida Republican.

Video of Florida State Rep. Charles Van Zant saying that Common Core will "attract every one of your children to become as homosexual as they possibly can" was shared byThink Progress on Monday. In it, Zant tells an elaborate story about the "LGBT agenda." And the head of the Democratic Party in Florida is calling on Governor Rick Scott, who faces an election challenge from former governor Charlie Crist, to rebuke the comments.

"Rick Scott has a duty to all of Florida's children to make it clear that they can go to school without fear of being bullied," said party chairwoman Allison Tant via a statement in response, according toCreative Loafing. "Rick Scott and the Republican House leadership must condemn these hateful remarks."

The party has started a campaign on Twitter that asks followers to retweet its call for Scott to respond to the comments.
