A law defending the protection of transgender kids was repealed by the Freehold Township Board of Education, allowing city school administrators to get in touch with relatives and let them know if their baby is.
The scheme, which was established in 2018, has generated debate over the past few months as parents have expressed their opinions on the subject. According to the plan, institutions cannot send transgender students in grades K through 8 home with their families. The policy’s main objective is to assist schools in providing transgender students with direction and an equitable environment.
Some parents discussed why they believed the reform would be detrimental to city students as the floor for public comment was opened on Tuesday.
” I believe in parents ‘ rights, but more important is the safety of the children,” one parent said. The tones of the kids are absent from this discussion.
According to school officials, repealing the plan does not eliminate New Jersey’s laws prohibiting transgender individuals from experiencing prejudice. Instead, they claim that inviting parents to be aware of the condition is the best course of action.
Some believe the policy violates kids ‘ right. Because the policy is optional, different New Jersey school districts have decided to do away with it.
The Hanover Township college neighborhood decided to do the same a few months ago. In March 2019, the legislation was first implemented in Hanover Township Schools. It was, nevertheless, overturned in September.
