I'm not for schools going out of their way to tell parents what clubs their kids belong to. But I don't think it should be a secret either. As you point out parents can find out what their kids are doing in many other ways. My kids used to complain the "mom network" would usually find out what was happening in their group before they did.

The idea that a parent might beat a kid for being gay is possible. But I would bet that kind of parent would beat their kid for any number of reasons.

Kenny should be viewed as someone who is ignorant than most Canadians and be encouraged to evolve his thinking - not be vilified.
