You seem to believe your views preempt those of your students’ parents. You are exactly the type of educator this law is intended to target — quite necessarily, as your comments demonstrate. > We are expected to help kids express their own opinions and keep those confidences. You should not be keeping secrets from students’ parents in the first place. You are not the parent; it is not your call. > Outing some trans kids is going to get them thrown out on the street by their parents, beaten, or worse. Actual abuse is illegal. Report it through proper channels. You do not get to usurp parental authority simply because you think some parents won’t agree with your politics.

> You seem to believe your views preempt those of your students’ parents. I'm a parent too. I believe that my kids should be able to be their own people at school. I don't know everything that happens with them there. > You are exactly the type of educator this law is intended to target I don't work for a government entity. But nice try at being vaguely menacing. > You should not be keeping secrets from students’ parents in the first place. I'm just curious if this is what you really think. Anything that happens at school-- anything kids express-- should be rolled up in journal form and provided to the parent? Or is there any role for discretion? > Actual abuse is illegal. Report it through proper channels. Waiting for actual harm sounds bad. And there's plenty of harm that's legal or nearly so: if they want to force the kid to leave home on their 18th birthday because of what I told them, that still sucks.
