Basically if a principal feels like outing a child due to biblical or discriminatory purposes, they can. This was illegal with Bill 24.
I fear for youth now in GSA's. Not from other students, but from people who are supposed to be ensuring protection for them in a safe spot.

This is the kind of dialogue I believe is getting shut out in the name of “bigotry”. That’s really my main concern about this. And of course this is the society we live in and both political spectrums have led to this.
I just think there has to be dialogue, and a recognition that improvement is valid. And that’s why my point was perhaps they need an amendment saying the clubs must only meet on site, if the regulation requires complete confidentiality. It doesn’t seem to me that you can open that discussion politically without it turning into immediate shut down as being “against” human rights. Honestly I would expect huge push back on even that as discriminatory, even if it’s root is in safety and protection.
