Tonight, Middletown, Marlboro, and Manalapan continue to do what Hanover started by revising Transgender Policy 5756. The schools will now notify parents if their child has changed their gender identity. This is a big win in light of the fact that NJ DOH reported that there has been a 4000+% increase in children that identify as non-binary from 2019 to 2022 (pre-pandemic to post-pandemic).
Only parents can help a child that is struggling with gender identity. The fact that the Murphy administration is trying to force schools to hide this vital information from parents is quite disturbing. A child who is changing gender identity is at high risk for bullying and suicide. Keeping this vital information from the parents will most certainly hurt children by preventing parents from seeking help for their kids.
This change in policy is a direct result of parents running and getting on the school boards all over the state of New Jersey. Last year, the parent run group, New Jersey Project (that’s us), reported to have endorsed candidates who won over 151 BOE seats in 85 Districts.
Its time for more parents to get involved and RUN FOR BOE!!
