If you're keeping secrets from parents about their children, you might just be the bad guy in the story:
The Chico Unified School Board in Chico, California, voted Wednesday evening to uphold its so-called "parental secrecy policy," which says that school staff should not reveal a transgender student's gender identity to their parents without the child's permission.
The vote comes after the Center for American Liberty filed a lawsuit against the school district on behalf of Aurora Regino, a mother who accused a guidance counselor of helping her 11-year-old biological daughter transition to a male without the family's knowledge.

For the most part, everyone is the hero of their own story. People rationalize and fool themselves to be the good guy.
I first started thinking about that when I read Albert Speer's History of the Third Reich. He is the highest ranking Nazi to have written a memoir. Speer comes off as a decent guy who willingly joined the Nazi Party early on because Hitler impressed him. Obviously that doesn't make sense, but it's his side of the story and he think he's a good guy.
The members of the Chico Unified School Board think they are saving the lives of children by protecting them from their unenlightened parents. They are thinking like a cult. Lying to parents is a big red flag that they are not the good guys.
