Kilgore, Texas high school student Skye Wyatt was the typical teenage girl. She played softball and was dating a fellow student. However, Wyattt was lesbian and she had to kept her relationship under wraps. No one in the school knew she wasn't straight and her parents were unaware as well.

One day Wyatt's world came crashing down around her. The 16-year-old was confronted her softball coaches and forced to confess to being gay. If that incident wasn't horrible enough the coaches called Barbara Wyatt, Skye's mother, and told her that her daughter was lesbian. Her mother was infuriated, but not for reasons you might expect out of a conservative leaning state. Mrs. Wyatt sued the school for violating her daughter's privacy. If the President of the United States ever gave out a mother of there year award the first one should be reserved for Barbara.

The lawsuit took years to travels through the Kilgore ISD school board and the Texas court system. A happy ending was ensured when Skye, now 21, was awarded $77,000 in compensation for the aggravation, pain and humiliation she endured. Wayne Krause Yang, legal director of the Texas Civil Rights Project and a member of the plaintiff's legal team called the judgement rare and just.

"It sends a really important message," Yang told Yahoo Shine. "In this day and age, we have athletes coming out, and sexual orientation is front and center. Any school or entity that doesn't educate its employees on privacy rights involving sexual orientation is opening itself up to danger." Yang also remarked that the outcome of the case was a "a big victory" for LGBT people.

Unfortunately the ultra-conservative school board thinks differently. They went as far as calling Skye and her mother bullies in a strongly worded statement.

"The Kilgore ISD board believes that the actions of its employees were in all things lawful. ... No new policies are going to be adopted." The statement goes on to say that, "the plaintiff's counsel in this case attempted to bully the board into changing its policies by threatening long, expensive and protracted litigation," and, "The Kilgore ISD Board of Trustees has no power to oppose the payment of settlement funds in this case, that matter being solely within the discretion of the insurance carrier. It is a business decision of the insurance company."

This is a ridiculous statement for a multitude of reasons. First off, Skye was bullied so aggressively that she resorted to cutting herself. Not to mention that her beautiful relationship with her girlfriend was put out into the open without the girls' consent. Finally, the school board's motto is this: "Making a difference. Whatever it takes." Obviously, they don't follow their own advice.

So should schoolteachers be able to out their students? Let us know in the comments section below?
