Parents and critics alike are outraged over yet another measure to implement LGBTQ+ policies in the public school systems with a new LGBTQ+ chat space allowing 13- to 19-year-old students to chat about gender and sexuality with adults without parental consent.
The outrage stems from a tweet shared by the Libs of TikTok Twitter account capturing a move by the Arizona Department of Education which would provide a "resource link" for LGBT students to discuss their gender and/or sexuality with LGBT adults and teens.
"The online chat room has a "quick escape" feature in case a kid wants to hide it from their parents," the Libs of TikTok account adds in the caption.
Screenshots from the chat space show the platform touting the opportunity for teens to "find and give support, have fun, connect around shared interests and get good information." It also allows teens to "chat with like-minded peers," and engage in conversations facilitated by "experienced staff who work at LGBTQ+ centers around the country."
