I'm reminded of the stories of kids in the USSR rewarded for ratting out their parents. Doesn't take much imagination to picture a Texas where schools ask kids if their parents ever told them "You know, if you ever thought you might be gay or trans, we will love you and support you no matter what"

This was either the plot, MacGuffin, climactic reveal, or some combination of the three in at least 75% of the mid-80s 6th grade social studies plays we wrote about life in the USSR.
