Wait, how can they out the students if they can't talk about trans people?

"Thank you for coming in, parents who are either so antagonistic to their child or so checked out of their life you don't know a fundamental aspect of their being before a teacher does.

I am required by law to tell you something about your child, but I am barred by the same law from saying what it is. Hopefully you go home and just feel bad about yourself rather than becoming violent with your child. I love that my poorly paid job now makes me complicit in this."

Don't bother looking for logical consistency in right wing legislation. It isn't there, and drawing attention to their hypocrisy will drive you insane cuz none of them care.

The only thing that's ever consistent is the cruelty: the goal is always to hurt some out-group. Often at the cost of hurting themselves, but so long as the out-group is hurt too, they don't mind falling on their own sword to make it happen.
