TX Lawmaker Wants To Force Schools To Out LGBT Students To Parents

Texas tea party state Sen. Konni Burton (pictured with Sen. Ted Cruz) has filed legislation that would effectively require public school employees to out LGBT students to their parents. 

Under Burton's Senate Bill 242, teachers and other school employees who fail to disclose a student's sexual orientation or gender identity to parents could face discipline, even if the student requests that the information be withheld. 

If passed, SB 242 would place LGBT youth in the conservative state at risk for abuse, neglect or suicide if their parents aren't accepting. It could even expose them to the dangerous, discredited practice of "reparative therapy," which happens to be endorsed in the Texas GOP platform.

I read about this online with somebody posting a personal story that in 8th grade a "concerned" teacher outted him to his mother and that consequently got thrown out, fell into depression and tried committing suicide.

This is f*cking severe.

it's scary to think a place where you're supposed to feel safe, you can't. even after bullying from other students, the teachers are going to make them unsafe, too!? 

 

i hope and i doubt this will get passed. but whoever thought of this idea is an idiot!

Like why can't people just let minorities live in peace? Why must they fight so hard to make people miserable? :wtf:

The chill that runs through me whenever I hear "reparative" or "conversion" therapy :wtf:

Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us.

More like these politicians are toxic. Religion wont force you to do something you dont want. You can just unaffiliate yourself from them.  It's the zealots and politicians that makes laws and forces people and teachers to do these stuff.

But religion is where this kind of bs stems from, any kind of dogmatic belief is toxic to a democratic society.

Everything really is bigger in Texas, especially dumbass politicians.

What is this even supposed to do aside from put kids in danger? If a kid doesn't want to come out to their parents, there is probably a good reason why..

Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet.
