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. 

This state needs to be burned down to the ground.

Starting on State Street in Trenton would be a good start.

It's OK everyone, NJ is fine, no reason to leave. Your children are in the good hands of the govt as are you. 

Doherty appears to be one of the last vestiges of conservatism in this state.  My Assemblymen (Petersen and Demaio) who appear to be losing their conservatism, purposefully abstained instead of voting no, which I find frustrating as a voter.  They did the same thing when the vote was up in 2018 to turn the state's duty to warn law into a gun control law.  Codey, who was a reported "mental health champion" for a few years, voted to turn the duty to warn law into a gun control law.

 

It is a (planned) shame that those in support or this law assume that those who don't support it are prejudiced.

Exactly. Why allow parents to decide when their children are ready to learn about how messed up the world is. This might be the last straw. 

Thanks for the link to Save Jersey. I haven't seen that one.
