DeSantis only expanded Florida's ban on teaching LGBTQP sodomy to all grade levels because he's getting curb stomped by Trump in the polls by 20 pts, not because it should have been the right policy that was put in place from the very beginning. Instead, the initial rule allowed such teaching to begin at age 9 and extend through high school.

As I said at the time, 4 years of empty promises from Trump forced the GOP to come up with impossible red meat to sell to their base. Impossible because it's not real (gay propaganda is bad at age 8 but not age 9?), because it feeds into their fake anti-woke agenda, and because if DeSantis were actually a viable candidate and could win (I've said from the beginning he never could) this half-hearted temporary policy would be the only policy of its kind ever proposed or enacted. Only now that the GOP's effort to use DeSantis as a ploy to lead gullible Whites back down a path of deradicalization has become an unmitigated failure are they willing to expand the ban to all grade levels. One could say that it doesn't get much more disingenuous than that, but we are, after all, talking about the Republican Party.

The even bigger takeaway here is what it says about the Republican Party's viability going forward. If they can't even move the needle with a statewide gay ban in public schools, their brand and ideology must be more toxic than will ever be revealed in public polling. If so, they have no business further interfering with the true will of the White American voter.
