Andy Wells, who leads the Missouri chapter of No Left Turn in Education, is demanding answers after learning public schools are hiding behind a state-approved policy that allows teachers and counselors to hide private conversations with students from their “nosy” parents.

Wells, who has three children in public schools, tells AFN school counselors and teachers have personally admitted to him the policy is real and they are hiding behind it. The reason, they told him, is to create a “safe space” at school in case the home environment is not.
