- Yawrehto 2y agoBecause the parents may be really transphobic and it might put the kid's life in danger.
- cirrus3 2y agoExactly... so, you prevent the schools from telling them in the moment. The kid knows best how and when to navigate that, not the school. Your comment hasn't clarified this for me =\
- ianburrell 2y agoFrom the Guardian article: "the bill will prohibit school policies that require parents to be alerted if their child wishes to change pronouns or identifies as transgender." Some school districts had implemented policies that forced teachers to out students to parents even when they know that would be problem. This law prevents that but still allows them to notify parents.
- cirrus3 2y agoRight, this seems good to me, or at least better. At least they are not required to out them anymore. Why is Elon so upset about this?
- rsynnott 2y agoYou're not missing anything. It's a good law. Naughty Old Mr Car is full in on the bonkers conspiratorial transphobia stuff, these days, though; you can't expect him to make a lot of sense on these things.
