Of Course: Luggage-and-Ladies-Underwear Sneakthief Sam Brinton Helped Craft School Policy Telling Schools to Lie to Parents About Childrens' Sexual Identities

Disgusting.

Can we all stop clapping for this Stunning and Brave individual yet, or nah?

This policy speaks about cases of a suicide attempt -- or just a suicide risk, which seems to be claimed on behalf of nearly all LGBT people, so this policy is pretty much a carte blanche to hide important facts from parents whenever "educators" deem it proper.

Sam Brinton, the non-binary former federal government official who is now facing the possibility of significant prison time, played a key role in developing a model school policy adopted in multiple states that instructs school districts to keep "unaffirming" parents in the dark about a potentially suicidal child's gender identity or sexual orientation.

...

Before joining the federal government, Brinton was in charge of advocacy and government affairs at the LGBTQ youth suicide prevention nonprofit The Trevor Project, where he helped craft a "Model School District Policy on Suicide Prevention" in 2019 along with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the American School Counselor Association and the National Association of School Psychologists.

Excuse me, how did that gig qualify this pyrsyn to oversee the disposal and safeguarding of the nation's dangerous, potentially-weaponizable nuclear waste?

Brinton cheered the model at the time, saying it's "imperative" for school suicide prevention policies to be "LGBTQ competent."

...

The model, which has since been adopted at local and state levels across the country, places severe restrictions on what school officials can communicate with a parent or guardian if a suicidal student identifies as LGBTQ.

"While parents and guardians need to be informed and actively involved in decisions regarding the student's welfare, the school mental health professional should ensure that the parents' actions are in the best interest of the student (e.g., when a student is LGBTQ and living in an unaffirming household)," the model states.

...

Under a section titled, "Special Considerations," schools are told not to share a student's gender identity or sexual orientation with a parent or guardian unless that student explicitly consents.

"When a parent is notified of perceived suicide risk or an attempt, it is essential that the school maintain student confidentiality related to personal information such as sexual orientation or gender identity, especially when the student has not already disclosed to the parent or guardian and does not want it shared," the model states. "Information shared should be restricted to the perceived risk of suicide or facts of the attempt."
