WINNING: Parental Notification
The Hanover Details
Hanover is leading the way with parental notification Policy 8463. This policy requires administrators and staff to inform parents whenever a student discloses an issue or exhibits behaviors that may have an adverse impact on the child’s health, safety or well-being. This has caused the Murphy’s administration to lose its mind and sue the public school.
Many people in New Jersey think that the Attorney General is suing Hanover over controversial transgender Policy 5756, but this is not true. Policy 5756 was not modified or changed until September 11, when the BOE decided to drop it completely. Then, when the BOE dropped 5756, the Attorney General (AG) wrote the judge and tried to prevent Hanover from eliminating it. The AG also tried to force the school district to pay for the state attorney fees (imagine the nerve of suing someone and making them pay you for it). Last Friday the judge said no, they won’t pay your fees AND the school can drop 5756 because it is not mandatory. The judge is still preventing Hanover from enacting Policy 8463 so the school cannot tell parents if their child is showing signs of any behavior that may have an impact on the child’s health, safety or well-being. The legality of Policy 8463 will continue in the court case.
Judge’s ORDER:
The Board of Education of Hanover made a very strong statement about the decision, reminding the judge that parents have a fundamental right under the 5th, 9th and 14th amendments of the constitution to direct the upbringing, education and care of their minor children.
Meanwhile in New Jersey, any school that wrote a policy to inform parents about ANYTHING that negatively affected the student is being shut down by our extremist leftist Attorney General’s office. Currently Marlboro, Middletown, and Manalapan are prevented from dropping Policy 5756 because they wrote the parental notification plan in that policy. Hanover was been able to drop 5756 completely because they had created 8463 to keep parents informed.
Since it was made public that 5756 is was NEVER mandated, Colts Neck, Hanover, Holmdel, Howell, Lacey, Lafayette, Matawan-Aberdeen, Millstone, Sparta, and Sussex-Wantage have either eliminated Policy 5756 or are having their second reading to remove it.
Important to mention that NO LAWSUIT filed by the state for any district that eliminated 5756. The state is only suing the district if they inform parents about their child’s mental and physical health. The time is now to ask your district, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
The news outlets continue to lie and say “Parental Rights” is just a way to “out” kids and ignore transgender youth. That couldn’t be a bigger lie. New Jersey has been infringing on the rights of parents with regards to directing the care, custody, and control of their children as a family since 2020 when the NJEA lobbied to keep the children masked FOR TWO YEARS. Kids are still suffering from that decision today. New Jersey has taken the next step to infringe upon our rights as parents trying to impose gender affirming care by allowing the children to socially transition and live their life as the opposite gender within the walls of the school. The state DOES NOT have the RIGHT to impose medical and psychological therapies on our children. IT NEEDS TO END NOW. Eliminating Policy 5756 is just the first step in the process….
Stay tuned…
Once again, there is another and likely better way to handle these issues in the courts. Passively playing on the Attorney General’s home field is a losing proposition. Aggressive action in the federal courts by a constitutional lawyer is needed.
