Something tells me the people most angry about schools not telling them about their child’s sexuality Are exactly the people vulnerable kids are most terrified of.
@Garossino The kids who feel they can talk to their parents will tell their parents. The ones who don’t typically have conservative thinking parents who don’t understand. These kids will call themselves by whatever pronoun regardless of parents! So absolutely 💯
@Garossino Teacher's would be happy if parents cared enough to have children show up on time and were taught to respect school. These are the same parents who blame teachers for their children's bad behaviour.
@Garossino The minister of education in Ontario is a gay man. He’s too afraid to come out but he’s fine forcing teens to come out. I’m so angry and upset right now!
@Garossino That is obvious, but it seems like most parents have their backs up. Seems like they're unwilling to trust that they have good and open enough relationships with their children to not throw the kids of the parents you're talking about under the transphobic bus.
@Garossino I believe that is a given. My experience in education definitely validates that theory.
@Garossino When my boy's were teens, a friend of theirs damaged their dad's classic Mustang. That same night, this friend committed suicide. Not the same thing for sure, but I have no doubt that some teens will kill themselves rather than deal with their parents anger and disappointment.
@Garossino If you have a solid open and loving relationship with your child, you don't need this sort of information - from anyone.
