I realize that, but what does repealing 24 do to prevent that? It restores notification at the discretion of the teacher or school. If the teacher or school chooses not to this still happens and at most schools the default position will be no notification. It’s also unclear from the article when this incident occurred relative to the timing of bill 24.
By the same token Bill 24 does essentially nothing to prevent parents from being notified. If school officials used to have a policy to notify parents in an effort to stamp out a GSA from forming and then sue for their right to continue such policy the next logical step is refusal to comply with the law until their funding is threatened. After that it will be to “accidentally” out kids. This is a paper law that won’t stop bigots.
Who’s behaviour is changed by this law in place or not it place.
