Democrats and LGBTQ advocates are slamming recent remarks from Gov. Glenn Youngkin calling on educators to inform parents about a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation.
Del. Shelly Simonds, a member of the House Education Committee, said youth with unsupportive families could be abused or kicked out of their homes if they were outed by teachers.
“I think people don’t realize that policies like this could put children in real danger at home,” said Simonds, D-Newport News. “This is a real safety issue for children.”
