State Suing School Districts for Ensuring Parental Rights
June 23, 2023 | New Jersey
The state of New Jersey is suing three school districts for adopting policies that require parents to be informed if their children show signs of changing their gender identity.
State Attorney General Matt Platkin filed the lawsuits on Wednesday against the Manalapan-Englishtown, Marlboro, and Middletown school districts and boards.
Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy lives in Middletown.
The state alleges that the policies violate New Jersey’s Law Against Discrimination and put transgender students at risk.
Manalapan’s policy also says that for students in kindergarten through fifth grade, “the responsibility for determining a student’s gender identity rests with the student’s parents/guardians,” Politico reported. (Excerpt from NEWSMAX.)
