Right to Know? Not Just an LGBT Issue

In a news report on Tuesday, KCRA of Sacramento, CA, tells of parents who have pulled their children out of the music class of a transgender teacher.  Outraged, the parents claim their right to know has been violated.  On the opposite side of the argument, the school stands behind the privacy rights of the teacher as well as HIPAA restrictions prohibiting them from disclosing such information.

It might be because i'm just british, but i'm not used to this "right to know" argument.  Doesn't everybody have the right to a private life? (high profile people excluded, perhaps!)
