I'm not saying you did the wrong thing (especially since I believe you didn't), but I think it's a sign of an adverse effect that's taking place in education in all red states right now. They're suffering brain drain because of their harsh, draconian laws, and it's all part of the GOP strategy to make a social institution non-functional so that they can privatise it and make money off of it. They're doing this in a concerted effort to replace public schooling with private schooling, and as we all know, attacking education and the educated is one of the first things all fascist regimes do. It scares me how many of my countrymen can't see the glaringly obvious signs going on in the GOP.

If it weren't the school's, they'd find another lever to pull. The red states are on a path to theocratic rule and the best all sane people can do is get out of those states while they can. Unfortunately, all we can really do is batten down the hatches and let the fascist shit burn out.

A better plan would be organized blue immigration into red states to tip the vote to Democrats there. If the nut jobs keep adding more states to their control, they not only have the senate and presidency but can do a constitutional convention...

If money weren't an object, I would fund a nonprofit to encourage remote tech workers to move to Wyoming and the Dakotas. It would take around 400K people to flip all 3 states. 9 electoral votes and 6 Senate seats (this is the real prize).

Why don't liberal tech company owners do this? It seems so easy and relatively cheap.

To be fair, how is the infrastructure in Wyoming for remote work? My guess is that it'll need to be developed to support the higher bandwidth usage of a large remote workforce before this is really viable, and it seems like the impetus for that would fall on the ISPs and/or companies wanting to move their people since the state government would likely be hostile to such a plan.

Critics of North Carolina's Parents Bill of Rights say it's harmful to LGBT students and could be used to ban books or put students in harm at home. Supporters say it's needed to stop inappropriate discussions of sexuality or gender at school, and to stop children from keeping secrets from their parents.
So, they are admitting they are trying to forcefully make kids comply and forbid them from being actual persons, with autonomy?
This is something the Westboro Baptist Church would co-sign. What the hell?

I hate that last fucking line. If parents are fucking abusers, kids should keep secrets from them. Fuck these assholes. They just want more Matthew Shepards. They can't beat and kill gay kids, so they want there to be no safety or privacy so that other people will do the dirty work for them.

If parents are abusers, Republicans are hoping they will punish their children for being gay. The cruelty is the point with Republicans

They say freedom, but they mean freedom to take your freedom.
Fundamental to their religion is the requirement to demand everyone else follow it or else

we keep trying to gotcha them by pointing out this hypocrisy. Thing is, they're just using the English language completely differently. When they say 'party of small government' what they mean is 'the government doesn't interfere in anything I want to do and keeps me on top of the pecking order.'
They don't use words the way the rest of the world does, and we are wasting our time pretending they mean anything they say.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
— Frank Wilhoit, CrookedTimber blog
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

There's a tremendous amount of blame to be laid at the feet of passive centrists who superficially oppose it but think we're overreacting. They're still more concerned about their taxes and the portfolio savings they'll use for their Bora Bora vacation.

Republicans have said critics shouldn’t call this a “Don’t Say Gay” bill — a label critics have applied to similar legislation in other states. Proponents of the North Carolina bill emphasized that teachers wouldn’t be completely banned from talking about gender or sexuality. The bans only apply in kindergarten through fourth grade, said Sen. Amy Galey, a Burlington Republican who sponsored the bill. It only applies to their official curriculum. So if a student asked a question, the teacher wouldn’t be banned from answering it, she said.The bill would also force teachers in any grade to out gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender students to their parents, even against the wishes of the students.
Galey said that in general, the main goal of the bill is “placing a strong emphasis on communication between school and the home.”Democrats particularly oppose that portion of the measure, saying it will lead to children being abused. Republicans say it’s necessary to stop children from keeping secrets from their parents.
That last sentence stopped me dead. Not just because of stuff like "I don't want them to know I'm using the fancy tissues at nigh in the bathroom", but the genuine potential for abuse, and I do not trust this Galey one bit that it will be "limited".

So if a student asked a question, the teacher wouldn’t be banned from answering it, she said.The bill would also force teachers in any grade to out gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender students to their parents, even against the wishes of the students. \nGaley said that in general, the main goal of the bill is “placing a strong emphasis on communication between school and the home.”Democrats particularly oppose that portion of the measure, saying it will lead to children being abused. Republicans say it’s necessary to stop children from keeping secrets from their parents.\n\nThat last sentence stopped me dead. Not just because of stuff like \"I don't want them to know I'm using the fancy tissues at nigh in the bathroom\", but the genuine potential for abuse, and I do not trust this Galey one bit that it will be \"limited\"."

These people were abused as children and just think it’s the norm. They see no issue because they went through it, so everyone else should as well. It’s stupid.

I had a similar thought, but in a different direction. Instead of (or in addition to) students decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio, teachers could decrease it, too. If they report every student to every parent, regardless of whether the students want to go "I am Spartacus," the result is the same.

I really don't understand Americans. You are the most primitive people in the industrialised world. Not in terms of technology, but in terms of attitudes.
The sort of stuff we hear about: Banning abortions, outing transgender people, reporting gays, banning library books. This is the sort of stuff that occurs in mediaeval regimes like Iran and Saudi Arabia, and even the Saudis are beginning to introduce more rights for their citizens.
Every other First World country, and many Third World countries gave up this sort of rubbish a long time ago, and treat people equally.
America certainly isn't the land of the free. It's more like the land of the foolish.

"I would end up having to quit my job because i would never out a minor. I grew up in a Mormon family that was very transphopic and anti gay i saw first hand how cruel and mean families can be.",
">\n\nI'm not saying you did the wrong thing (especially since I believe you didn't), but I think it's a sign of an adverse effect that's taking place in education in all red states right now. They're suffering brain drain because of their harsh, draconian laws, and it's all part of the GOP strategy to make a social institution non-functional so that they can privatise it and make money off of it. They're doing this in a concerted effort to replace public schooling with private schooling, and as we all know, attacking education and the educated is one of the first things all fascist regimes do. It scares me how many of my countrymen can't see the glaringly obvious signs going on in the GOP.",
">\n\nIf it weren't the school's, they'd find another lever to pull. The red states are on a path to theocratic rule and the best all sane people can do is get out of those states while they can. Unfortunately, all we can really do is batten down the hatches and let the fascist shit burn out.",
">\n\nA better plan would be organized blue immigration into red states to tip the vote to Democrats there. If the nut jobs keep adding more states to their control, they not only have the senate and presidency but can do a constitutional convention...",
">\n\nIf money weren't an object, I would fund a nonprofit to encourage remote tech workers to move to Wyoming and the Dakotas. It would take around 400K people to flip all 3 states. 9 electoral votes and 6 Senate seats (this is the real prize).",
">\n\nWhy don't liberal tech company owners do this? It seems so easy and relatively cheap.",
">\n\nTo be fair, how is the infrastructure in Wyoming for remote work? My guess is that it'll need to be developed to support the higher bandwidth usage of a large remote workforce before this is really viable, and it seems like the impetus for that would fall on the ISPs and/or companies wanting to move their people since the state government would likely be hostile to such a plan.",
">\n\nThere isn't any. It helps keep the liberals out.",
">\n\n\nCritics of North Carolina's Parents Bill of Rights say it's harmful to LGBT students and could be used to ban books or put students in harm at home. Supporters say it's needed to stop inappropriate discussions of sexuality or gender at school, and to stop children from keeping secrets from their parents.\n\n\nSo, they are admitting they are trying to forcefully make kids comply and forbid them from being actual persons, with autonomy?\n\nThis is something the Westboro Baptist Church would co-sign. What the hell?",
">\n\nI hate that last fucking line. If parents are fucking abusers, kids should keep secrets from them. Fuck these assholes. They just want more Matthew Shepards. They can't beat and kill gay kids, so they want there to be no safety or privacy so that other people will do the dirty work for them.",
">\n\nIf parents are abusers, Republicans are hoping they will punish their children for being gay. The cruelty is the point with Republicans",
">\n\nNot to mention the risk of getting outed in a place where accessibility to guns is rampant Republicans have the added benefit of an increased risk of suicide",
">\n\nIt drives me crazy that the same folks dual wielding ARs from the back of a jacked up Dodge 3500 compensator, screaming about their freedoms while dumping the mag fail to see any freedom that doesnt apply to them",
">\n\nRepublicans scream freedom, but what they really want is Christian nationalism.",

">\n\nThe Party of Small Government sure doesn’t like a right to privacy.",
">\n\nwe keep trying to gotcha them by pointing out this hypocrisy. Thing is, they're just using the English language completely differently. When they say 'party of small government' what they mean is 'the government doesn't interfere in anything I want to do and keeps me on top of the pecking order.'\nThey don't use words the way the rest of the world does, and we are wasting our time pretending they mean anything they say.",
">\n\n\nConservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.\n\n— Frank Wilhoit, CrookedTimber blog\n\nNever believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.\n\n― Jean-Paul Sartre",

">\n\nThe Republic of Gilead draws closer every day and half the country is fine with it. Because they think \"Oh, it won't hurt ME\". They'll tolerate any evil if they think they won't be the target of it.",

">\n\nThere's a tremendous amount of blame to be laid at the feet of passive centrists who superficially oppose it but think we're overreacting. They're still more concerned about their taxes and the portfolio savings they'll use for their Bora Bora vacation.\nIf you're not plugged in, nothing is changing.",
">\n\nWhat next, a bill to force teachers to report girls who might not be virgins? I don’t think discussing students sex lives is a necessary part of the education system.",
">\n\nMaybe they’ll take a page out of the Florida athletic regulations and require girls to regularly report on their menstrual cycles.",
">\n\nDont forget them demanding to see every girl naked before entering bathrooms to ensure they arent trans..",
">\n\nFlorida wants to track girls menstruation, while NC wants teachers to spy and snitch on any 'suspected' LGBTQ+ students... Every ultra conservative county/state is up for book banning; Texas held #1 spot last year....

">\n\nThere is ZERO chance I am outing a student. Good like enforcing this idiotic law GQP taliban… from a NC teacher.",
">\n\nUnfortunately, plenty of bigoted teachers to go around and help “cleanse” there schools of undesirables.",
">\n\nSo the teachers in NC who refuse will likely be jailed, meanwhile sheriffs across the country can openly state they won't enforce certain laws and they get paid to throw the teachers in jail.\nThe south is absolutely fucked.",
">\n\nThe South is Jim Crow again.",
">\n\n\nout LGBTQ students\n\nAre they going to make them wear an identifying symbol?...",
">\n\n\nRepublicans have said critics shouldn’t call this a “Don’t Say Gay” bill — a label critics have applied to similar legislation in other states. Proponents of the North Carolina bill emphasized that teachers wouldn’t be completely banned from talking about gender or sexuality. The bans only apply in kindergarten through fourth grade, said Sen. Amy Galey, a Burlington Republican who sponsored the bill. It only applies to their official curriculum. So if a student asked a question, the teacher wouldn’t be banned from answering it, she said.The bill would also force teachers in any grade to out gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender students to their parents, even against the wishes of the students. \nGaley said that in general, the main goal of the bill is “placing a strong emphasis on communication between school and the home.”Democrats particularly oppose that portion of the measure, saying it will lead to children being abused. Republicans say it’s necessary to stop children from keeping secrets from their parents.\n\nThat last sentence stopped me dead. Not just because of stuff like \"I don't want them to know I'm using the fancy tissues at nigh in the bathroom\", but the genuine potential for abuse, and I do not trust this Galey one bit that it will be \"limited\".",
">\n\nPlus the abject stupidity of thinking kids shouldn't have secrets from parents.\nWere these people never children themselves, or did they spring out from under some rock as fully-formed adult theocrats?",
">\n\nThese people were abused as children and just think it’s the norm. They see no issue because they went through it, so everyone else should as well. It’s stupid.",

">\n\n~~have their lives ruined~~ die. Suicides will\nskyrocket.",
">\n\nWhat the hell is the US coming to!! Just leave people alone and quit pushing your Christian bullshit on everyone.",
">\n\nIn America you have the right to live your life as the GOP sees fit.",
">\n\nThis could get kids killed. It needs to be stopped.",
">\n\nThis unfortunately won't stop because Republicans want to kill LGBTQIA+ kids. They delight in it. Republicans would rather have a dead kid than a queer kid.",
">\n\nYes they do, they are evil and hateful.",
">\n\nWasn't there a GOP rep who bragged he would drown his kid if he turned out to be gay?",
">\n\nEric Porterfield, the blind republican from West Virginia.",
">\n\nThe Republican party is pro child abuse. If you vote GOP you vote for sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, full stop.",
">\n\nPretty sure they're trying to drive up suicide rates among LGBTQ youth. \nEvery gay student in the south will have to live a total lie. While they love these don't say gay laws, I'm also pretty sure they'll still tolerate and enable homophobic speech.",
">\n\nAlternate headline. Republicans debate bill that fosters teen suicide.",
">\n\nFortunately the GOP doesn't have a veto-proof majority (barely). Governor Cooper will never sign this bill.",
">\n\nUnfortunately, the GOP does have a veto-proof supermajority in the state Senate, and only needs to flip a single Democrat to override a veto in the general assembly. The thinnest possible margin.",
">\n\nUnless I am mistaken, to overturn an NC gubernatorial veto it is 3/5ths of those PRESENT, not elected. \nSo they still might have it, with some shenanigans.",
">\n\nOh, yeah, that too. They tried some shenanigans a couple years ago, holding a vote when members were attending some memorial. I don't remember the details, but this definitely happens.",
">\n\nIt was a 9/11 memorial.\nThere is nothing sacred for any Republican except doing what it takes to get their wins.",
">\n\nYeah, that's right. I knew it was a memorial for something, but couldn't remember what.",
">\n\nThese are the kind of laws that made Hitler admire and be inspired by the conservative Americans of the Jim crow era...",
">\n\nConservatives won't be happy until LGBTQ Americans are forced to live in ghettos under armed guard.",
