Missouri teachers can hide private conversations with students from parents, says policy in dozens of schools

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Wells said these policies give teachers and counselors the opportunity to have private conversations with students about academics, race and gender identity without parental knowledge, consent or the ability to opt out.
47% : That is unconstitutionally overbroad, as such a rule will very likely infringe upon parents' 14th Amendment right to be the primary decision maker with respect to the health, welfare and education of their children."
