Texas mom refuses to sign NDA to visit her child’s public school campus
By MaryAnn Martinez
August 24, 2023
In a move appearing in direct contravention of first amendment rights, a mother claims a public middle school in Texas tried to make her sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in order to be on campus.
When Amber Longacre tried to visit Kitty Hawk Middle School Aug. 15 in the San Antonio area, the parent was approached by several school staffers who wanted her to sign an NDA — a legal document which prevents sensitive information from being shared — which is normally reserved for private employers who want to prevent leaks.
Longacre immediately became suspicious as to why a taxpayer-funded public building would curb free speech.
“There is no way to know how many parents signed the NDA without asking any questions,” Longacre told The Post in a statement.
“I shared my story because I want to encourage other parents to speak up when something seems off.

Gee, that's not suspicious at all.

Good on Ms. Longacre for bring this to the fore!
-
Give power to morons, and bad things happen.

Just an administative clerical error. No hidden agenda I'm sure.
-
Time to get the DOJ involved to investigate this dangerous parental unit!

Gee, that's not suspicious at all.
IKR? A reflexive response should be, "Why? What are you hiding?!" Plus or minus a couple of situationally appropriate expletives.

NDA's?
That flashed about 50 red warning signals. IMO
The parents as a group need to hire a tandem of an attorney and private investigator to find out what is going on in that school.

Two things concern me here. 1) that the school demanded a NDA, 2) how easily an NDA was slipped into a signup sheet (by a bureaucrat) to visit a school in the first place. "Ooopsie?" Not buying that one at all. Too many of those all over the place.
ETA: A surprise that the school backed down.
