"A senator in Texas has filed legislation that would force public school employees to expose the sexuality and gender identity of LGBT students to their parents.
State Senator Konni Burton's Bill 242 would see teachers and other school employees disciplined if they withheld information regarding a student's sexual orientation or gender expression, reports The New Civil Rights Movement. "

Thus endangering the lives of those students if the parents decide to kick them out, or become violent toward them.
