School on the Hook for Outing Teen as Lesbian


TYLER, Texas (CN) - Two East Texas softball coaches and their school district still face civil rights claims for allegedly telling one mother her daughter is gay.

Barbara Wyatt sued the Kilgore Independent School District and two coaches from Kilgore High School last year. The complaint says coaches Rhonda Fletcher and Cassandra Newell aggressively confronted her 16-year-old daughter, S.W., about an alleged love triangle. The coaches allegedly said S.W. was involved with an older woman named Hillary Nutt and had told others that Nutt and Newell had also dated.

Though S.W. had never told her mother she was a lesbian, the coaches confronted Wyatt about the teenager's alleged relationship, according to the complaint.

Wyatt says she made multiple complaints in defense of her daughter's right to privacy, but the school district backed the coaches' actions, saying "they were 'legally obligated to share this information with the parent.'"

1. School district is full of shit. Not a penis to stand on.

2. teachers may be legally obligated to report adult/minor sexual activities. If an

adult male was doing this with an underage girl would people be so upset it was reported?
