This has no place in public school; mathematics, science & ELA, history & art should be taking up every minute of a school day. What a waste of time. Meanwhile, in China & India, the students are being taught subjects that lead to employment. New Jersey is run by stupid people.

Originally it was all labeled as heath, then "reproductive" health, then sex ed where they were putting condoms on bananas and handing them out to teens. Then 2 yrs Go it was anal and oral sex, Now they jumped right to fetishes. Up next furries and S and M. This is outrageous. I don't know one person who isn't extremely disturbed by this bill with the exception of "steph" we need to push to BOE for complete transparency, cameras, and exclusion to stop this madness. My children will not be party to these lessons. It has NOTHING to do with health besides the mental health problems someone is suffering from to believe this is right.

Unfortunately BOEs have no say in this. This has been passed into law and is part of the NJ learning standards. The only way this changes is legislatively, which we all know will never happen in our crappy state. It’s frustrating because parents are angry at boards but they should be angry with the legislators and our governor. AND Murphy was re-elected meaning half the population is okay with this. (Btw this was all enacted prior to the election!)

The legislation that was passed was for sexual education 5-12 grades. The state board of Ed. Is who voted on the curriculum. They pick those grotesque videos and I believe they also had a hand in lowering the age.

Knowing what we know about elections and democrats I wouldn’t bank on how accurate they are. We are all in deep trouble .

I have just joined this community as a very concerned grandparent of three grandchildren under the age of five. What can we do at a township level to fight back?

You can got to your BOE meetings. You can ask them how they will accommodate the new health curriculum standards. Read the them the standards that I have provided in this article

Personally I Feel this has no place in school. I speak freely with my children. My daughter is 10 has asked questions and I answer honestly. I want the schools to focus on teaching my children the basics, reading, writing , math, science and history. Being a parent means having open and honest dialogue with our children. It is not a teacher’s responsibility to raise my child. This has no place in school. My daughter came home and told me she was learning about illegal drugs and their names in 4thGrade!! No thank you on public school. They are not helping children but hurting them in the long run!!

So your “war ” on mask is over so you want a new one with the lgbtq? Parents have always had the same interactions with sex ed since the 90s. The issue is your “straight” ways are the only way and you could care less about lgbtq and their needs in a PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM were all kids should learn about all things even if helicopter fanatics like your self dislike it. Go to private school shelter life is there. #stophatred #stopyourwaronlgbt

At not one point in this article did I mention "gay" the theory of gender has NOTHING to do with sexual preference. And we will not go to private schools to avoid bullshit theory that has no base in science. Gender is what you are, not how you feel.

Don’t bother getting through to them. The minute you you state your stance on an issue, if it doesn’t align with their views your immediate something-phobic.

Amen - why do some in the lgstq group always think we care what they do in their private lives? I just don't want my grandchildren exposed to something they cannot begin to comprehend!

They always argue back that the gays are being discriminated against. The gays have no problem with not letting perverts run the show. Big difference between being gay and being g a pervert! This is perversion hiding as education!

So everybody has to acomódate every aspect of life because some people aren't happy with their gender. What makes you so special?? Let the kids be kids and stay away from them. We as parents know which kids are going to be homosexuals and also at a certain age the kids find out too. Thats on them to find their place on life and accept the way they are without the need of no body's acceptance. Why the world out of sudden has to revolve around these people. Its not enough with being accepted and understood, getting married, discrimination is illegal, adoption of kids ! And now targeting every single kid in America. Let the kids be kids

Not to mention that the vast majority of people who has gender reassignment surgery are very unhappy they did so. Is that mentioned in the course?

Scary the types who go into education. Big reason why home schooling is the only way to protect your kids from them .

This is disgusting, teachers should stick to teaching about math English etc. since when did they get education In talking to kids about sex? To other people’s children about sex. That is pedophilia. I don’t want any other adult talking to kids about sex except their parent or doctor. Teachers can’t even do their jobs well as it is. Look at our literacy rates! Now they want to add a subject ? This is a cover up to normalize pedophilia which I hear us also rampant among teachers.
