i think its like

if you don't want to be recorded, that's it
they can't from that point on
but you have to express it

Maybe in regards to recording in public, due to some newer state laws.

Wiretapping on the other hand is archaic stuff that just blankets recording in any way (particularly audio though). And the problem comes from states that put in two-party consent laws where the person you're recording (even if unintentionally) has to be made aware, and recording of audio needs actual written consent.

Just imagine if all student presentations/speeches/papers had to be reviewed by all parents before being shown/discussed in class.

Don't you see how fucking idiotic this would be? But according to you it's necessary, since some kid might do a speech on why the Confederacy was bad, which might offend those who grew up in the south.

It having to do with sexuality/gender is 100% unrelated. Such subjects are lawfully taught in schools with zero parental input/notification.

Presentations like this are probably common in health ed classes by some students, without any choice being given to other students in the class to cut class because it offends them.
When I was a kid, the "Sex Ed" course was required to have a Parent Approval form and they were notified a week in advance. Literally 1/3 of my class went to the Cafeteria during "Sex Ed" so that they would "Opt Out" because of the parents request.

Anything Controversial was required to "Notify the Parents" first and have them sign approval forms.

So no, it's not idiotic. It's called having common decency to inform parents on topics that may be "Controversial".

And any "Gender" courses didn't even exist when I went to school.

Really? I never had to have my projects and speeches approved by other parents before presenting them. Do you really think it's feasible or sensible to screen every single student project before every single parent before a student is allowed to present it?

And high school required no parental notification for sex ed classes when I attended. Could be a regional or generational thing I suppose, though I doubt I'm that much younger than you (wish I was still under 30).

You're getting awfully riled up about a story that might be completely made up by the liberty counsel.
You're getting awfully defensive about a simple problem that can be VERY EASILY resolved by showing the content to the parents.

It's not a big ask to demand Transparency from the School to show the Parents.

The Parents aren't asking for Editorial, Critiquing, or Commentary rights over the Students works; just the right to view said content and deem it appropriate for their child. This is no different from any parent out there.

Unless the teen herself goes through the emancipation process, her father does still have custody over her and can press charges against anyone keeping her from his custody.

Charging kids with felony counterfeiting when they received the money from their parents, who probably got it as change from a random store...

Texas is fucking shit.

Whats more stupid?

Your made up scenario or you not reading?

The crime is forgery - a third-degree felony in Texas. If found guilty, students could be sentenced to two to 10 years in prison. The Harris County DA's office says most would be given probation but this is still a felony arrest and/or conviction that has to be reported for a lifetime.

Juveniles can seek to have their records expunged -- but there is no guarantee.

...

Investigating student forgeries for using small bill in a lunch line does not appear to be letting up.

Nezami represents a 13-year-old Cy-Fair ISD Cook Middle School student facing two to 10 years in a Texas prison for passing off what turned out to be a fake $10 bill.

It looks real, and his parents say it felt real.

"The friend pulls out a $10 bill and his friend thinks that it's real," Nezami said. "So they get to the lunch line... he buys his lunch with it, takes his lunch and goes and eats it."

After school, officials did the forgery test and realized it was a fake $10 bill, according to Nezami.

"He comes to school the next day and he gets arrested and charged with a third-degree felony." Nezami said. "He's in seventh grade. He doesn't handle money that much."

"They put him in handcuffs," he said. "They put him in a police car, the whole bit."

His parents even offered to pay the $10 that was owed the school.

The 13-year-old even qualifies for free lunch from the school.

He's never been in trouble and reliably gets A's and B's in class.

He was charged with a felony and sent to alternative school before being found guilty of anything.

His case is still pending.


Again, shit tier state.

If the teacher actually dealt with it by using the students' last name (especially if he switched to using all their last names, but the article doesn't say), that seems like a fair compromise. He's not "dead naming" anyone, but he's also not being forced to say something he doesn't support.

If he commonly used last names alone with his students I could definitely see this being a non-issue.

If this student was one of the only or few students that he only referred to by last name, then fair, next.

Also, not supporting your student who's trying to overcome a problem in a way prescribed by most doctors is grounds enough for being fired IMO.

This leads me to believe that the girl must've been a meth addict as well.

I mean, no girl with a shred of dignity or decency would've accepted his Friend Request. Disgust would've likely been their first reaction.

She's also likely a really stupid kid with no proper parenting.

It's a systemic problem up here in Alaska

I mean, if she's competent enough to operate a vehicle at 16 by herself, she has enough common sense to understand that you shouldn't accept random Friend Requests, especially from a guy who stalked you on social media, not to mention he's triple your age.

That's a stretch of insanely stupid logic.

There are wack job freaks that drive cars every day.

There are young, stupid kids with poor judgement driving cars every day.

Alaska letting 16 year olds drive is one of the dumbest things about this state. Minimum age for a Drivers License should be 18.

The minimum age for a full drivers license has traditionally been 16 in all states. Restricted licenses for 16-18 year olds and higher age restrictions in general only started trickling in during the late 90's to the early 2000's. A very large majority of states still let 16 year olds drive alone with some restrictions.

Canada did something similar.

Canada's judges ruled by the letter of the law and so didn't consider anything other than penetration to be bestiality. There was an attempt to add more to the list of prohibited acts, but the wording of it was opposed by farmers and fishers because it could also apply to stuff that would affect their job. I think there were some other animal rights stuff in there that people considered to be reaching too far.

As for the current state of bestiality in Canada, I think they just kind of left it in limbo.

Ah, this makes sense. Breeders have to basically prep the males, and in many cases inject the females manually. I wonder if there was a similar problem with this law?

This. Such a large change would end up obliterating everyone alive today.

You have to remember that the odds of you being born you (and not, say, as one of your siblings, or one of the other quadrillions of sperm/egg combos possible) are already ineffably high.

Making a large change even one generation ago would likely replace a good portion of the population with different people.

A change that large and so long ago? Yeah, maybe some parts of the world stay the same for a small period (parts that had absolutely no contact with the west), but eventually the change will catch up by the mid 1900's, when globalization really started connecting everyone.

Odds are you wouldn't be able to name a single person that existed in this timeline. Not that it'd matter since you wouldn't exist either, which would create a paradox and destroy the universe.

Just going to point out, as I usually do whenever this topic comes up, that many societies that existed for centuries realized that sometimes people don't fit into the binary male/female gender roles. A lot of them created a third role to adapt to this fact of human nature.

Most well known and largest are probably Native Americans (North and South), South East Asians, and most of the Pacific cultures (including the Philippines, Indonesia, and Polynesia/New Zealand Maori).

This is ancient and recurrent shit that's been a part of our species for thousands of years, and won't be going away anytime soon.


Also yeah... no, not really. The fact they let girls hunt and fish with men and let men stay home to weave clothes from animal hide doesn't mean they openly embraced mental disorders.

Kind of like how women can be doctors and lawyers and men can be teachers and nurses.


Nah, I didn't include those cases in my examples. Only cultures where a legit non-binary gender was actively present in society due to them existing, and society adapting to it instead of completely repressing it like classic western society did.

Just going to point out, as I usually do whenever this topic comes up, that many societies that existed for centuries realized that sometimes people don't fit into the binary male/female gender roles. A lot of them created a third role to adapt to this fact of human nature.
