A recent Monmouth University poll asked over 800 people in NJ about different issues related to parental rights and gender issues. The results were shocking.
The OVERWHELMING majority of the public believes that schools should notify parents if a child seeks to change their gender identity. 77% of respondents said schools should notify parents (81% of parents polled).
Seeing school boards getting sued by the AG for wanting to notify parents, and seeing the number of activists turning up at school board meetings, you may have doubted your own beliefs. That statistic above made a few quiet headlines, but parents have been gaslit for so long in this state that it’s validating to finally get confirmation that our views are that of the MAJORITY. The SUPERMAJORITY! To put it another way, only 19% of parents feel differently.
Some other results from that poll were equally shocking but didn’t get as much exposure in the media. 73% of respondents said that 1st to 5th grade is too young to learn about gender identity. This is required by NJ learning standards in grade 2 (page 28 here).
64% also think that children born as males should have to play sports on the boys’ teams. Title IX was created to make sure girls have the same opportunities as boys. As we have seen in recent news, trans girls are consistently outcompeting biological girls, essentially erasing the protections Title IX fought to create.
At professional levels, organizations have begun to slowly prohibit trans women from competing against biological women.
23 states now have legislation addressing these issues, but NJ hasn’t taken up the issue yet.
Politicians are aware that these issues aren’t popular.
Earlier this summer, top Democrats tried to distance themselves from the woke decisions being handed down by the State Board of Ed like removing gendered terms from the state’s administrative code and barring districts from segregating sex ed classes based on sex.
This is handing Republicans on the ballot this November a GIFT, should they choose to accept it. Parental rights are the PRIMARY issue in NJ in our opinion this November.
Even though these positions are popular (and there’s polling data to prove it), many Republicans remain silent on these issues.
Has your legislator or candidate made their position on these issues publicly known? Call them out to say something.
If they are silent, vote them out.
We need strong legislators who will represent the people.
Let’s hope this goes the way of Virginia when Democrats told parents they had no say in what their kids learned in school. Here are 3 great candidates for school board in Freehold Township. Please share. https://yourpic.org/
I'm hoping Republicans take advantage of this and don't blow it.
