Connecticut Democrat lawyers introduced a bill that would “protect public school teachers” from having their conversations with students accessible through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Senior fellow with the Independent Women’s Forum Nicole Solas tweeted, “Connecticut wants to make it illegal to obtain ‘any communication between a teacher and a student regarding sensitive subjects such as sexual orientation, gender identity, and race.'”
From The Blaze:
One Twitter user replied to Solas’ post regarding the bill, stating, “Teacher here. Someone needs to explain to those legislators that their job is to protect students not teachers.” Another social media user against the proposed bills wrote, “Teachers aren’t trained counselors or therapists & this is beyond their scope of practice so why? Why legal confidentiality protection? What code of ethics are teachers bound to for this subject? Ultimately this hurts families & exposes kids to risk. Maybe that’s the point.”
