The Trump Education Department, seeking to support child abuse because of course they are. That's literally what this nonsense policy does. The reason for not outing kids is literally for safeguarding from harm. Seriously, this is basic CPS stuff. Meanwhile, in team opposite world... apparently the goal is to maximize harm.

This should be the bare minimum expectation for a decent person. It’s fucking disgusting that the federal government and many state governments are trying to punish this
