The student "reluctantly" agreed for staff to tell his parents

A school in Utah has defended its decision to tell the parents of a student that he was gay saying it was concerned about bullying.

When the 14-year-old wrote about being gay for a project in which they had been asked to design an advertisement for themselves, his teacher reportedly asked him if he wanted it to be publicly known.

MSNBC reports the assistant principal then spoke to him about telling his parents and the boy "reluctantly" agreed for it to happen, as long as he was not there at the time.

This isn't the version we were told before: https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,112362.msg852942.html#msg852942

Why is it, every time we hear a sob story from Texas, it turns out to be a lie?

Eh, one of those articles is a story about a 14 year old boy in Utah, and the other is about a then 16 now 19 year old girl in Texas. You are able to notice the differences, right?

My apologies, I didn't notice the signifiance of Utah and picked up the wrong end of the stick.

But I wasn't attacking Texans, nor America, but rather dishonesty.

I confused the stories in this case and am very sorry
