Cincinnati schools told to ‘consider’ reporting child abuse if parents unsupportive of child’s gender identity
Fox News
A memo given to Cincinnati Public Schools principals advises school staff to "consider" reporting child abuse if a student’s parents are unsupportive of his or her LGBTQ status.
"A student's transgender status, sex at birth, and legal name are all confidential records," the memo states. "Special consideration should be given by schools about disclosing a student's gender identity to parents." Jessica Chasmar is a digital writer on the politics team for Fox News and Fox Business.

The memo, which was published in the Board of Education's meeting minutes, tells schools to consider reporting child abuse to Hamilton County Job and Family Services if a student’s gender identity puts them at risk at home.
