The Washington State Superintendent of the Office of Public Instruction is weighing in on the ‘Parents’ Bill of Rights' that was signed into law earlier this year. Critics say the measure is a “forced outing” of students who aren't ready to tell their parents that they're queer or transgender.

"I want to be clear: This initiative did not change, reduce, or diminish student privacy rights in Washington schools that are protected by federal law," said State Superintendent Chris Reykdal."There is no question that students are best supported when their families are actively involved in their education," Reykdal continued.
