The NJ Senate & Assembly have passed a bill awaiting Murphy's signature.
“These parents feel their parental rights … are being stripped away,” Doherty said. “This is just not right.”
Children as young as 5, he said, should not be learning about the “concept of sexuality.”
“They want to play with dolls and teddy bears, cars and trucks, train sets and little puppies,” he continued. “Those are the kinds of things 5- and 6 year-olds are interested in.”
Sen. Richard J. Codey, D-Essex, said the bill is “not about sex-ed.”

Edit: Brian Bergen (R-25), Kevin Rooney (R-40), Antwan McClellan (R-1), Erik Simonsen (R-1), and Chris DePhillips (R-40) voted for it. Two others didn’t vote at all (which could be for a host of reasons).
12 Republicans – including the caucus’s leader Jon Bramnick – abstained, which you could argue is somehow worse: Ronald Dancer, Bob Auth, Nancy Munoz, Erik Peterson, Holly Schepisi, Edward Thomson, John DiMaio, Aura Dunn, and Sean Kean.
I'm urging everyone to contact Murphy and oppose this bill from passing as is. Starting this in Kindergarten is unacceptable.
